Davisville Village has mastered the art of being delightfully in the middle of everything—midtown Toronto charm meets practical, commuter-friendly living. Sandwiched between Yonge & Eglinton and Mount Pleasant, this is where you’ll find old-school Toronto character rubbing shoulders with sleek new builds and down-to-earth locals who still say good morning on the sidewalk.
The Real Estate Scoop
Davisville is a dream for buyers who want walkability, transit, and a little yard space—but aren’t quite ready for the full Leaside price tag. You’ll find charming 1920s and 30s detached and semi-detached homes with just enough quirks to be lovable, alongside newer condos and boutique buildings that popped up as demand for midtown exploded. Looking for something between an ultra-modern glass box and a century-old fixer-upper? This is your ‘just right’ Goldilocks zone.
Condos are aplenty along Merton and Balliol, many with ravine views overlooking the Beltline Trail. Houses further east? They lean classic, with leafy streets and kids on scooters. And if you’re a first-time buyer? This is one of the few pockets in midtown where your dreams still have a fighting chance.
The Neighbourhood
Davisville is equal parts urban village and residential calm. Got a dog? The trails at Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Beltline are basically an off-leash paradise. Raising a kid? Maurice Cody is one of the most coveted public schools in the city. Craving something delicious after work? From casual bites on Bayview to upscale eats on Mount Pleasant, you’re never more than a few blocks from something freshly baked or perfectly poured.
Plus, let’s talk about transit: the Davisville subway station is your gateway to everywhere, and if you’re the type who still commutes to the office (retro!), your morning just got a whole lot easier.
Locals love that Davisville doesn’t try too hard—it’s not trying to be trendy. It just *is* that effortlessly comfortable, smartly connected, forever underrated part of town that makes Toronto living feel easy. And if you’re the type that likes a balance between bustle and breathing room, Davisville might just be your perfect fit.
