Liberty Village isn’t just a neighbourhood—it’s a vibe. And it’s one I’ve known since my early 20s, when I rented in one of the first two towers on Fort York Blvd and watched the Metro grocery store open its doors. (Major moment for every condo dweller, am I right?) Since then, the area’s grown up fast — more condos, more coffee, more places to grab dinner, hit a class, or take your dog out for a stroll. And it’s still a magnet for creatives, techies, entrepreneurs, and urban professionals who want to live close to the action but still have a local coffee shop that knows their order.
The Real Estate Scoop
Liberty Village is a mix of modern high-rise living and gritty industrial charm. Think red brick warehouse conversions, towering loft-style windows, steel and glass condos, and the occasional three-level townhouse tucked in between. On one side, you’ve got authentic hard lofts—real-deal former factories with all the original quirks and character. On the other, sleek new condo towers with concierge service and rooftop patios. Whether you’re looking for a one-bed with a gym downstairs or a two-storey open-concept with exposed beams and polished concrete, Liberty has options.
The Neighbourhood
This place was literally branded as “Liberty Village” by early developers—and it stuck, for good reason. Walk around and you’ll find a community buzzing with gyms, pet boutiques, spin studios, coworking spots, and espresso bars. Along Liberty Street, there’s a solid line-up of restaurants and pubs, while the hub of activity is really around King & Atlantic. Not a ton of green space within the core itself, but you’re minutes to the Waterfront Trail and a short walk to Coronation Park, the Bentway, or the Martin Goodman Trail. Trust me—it’s way more scenic than you’d expect this close to the Gardiner.
Living here means you’re in walking distance to King West, Trinity Bellwoods, Exhibition GO, and the lake. Whether you’re commuting to Bay Street or just heading out for tacos and a nightcap, it’s all ridiculously accessible. And while Liberty Village still doesn’t have a school of its own, you’ll find solid public and Catholic options nearby. (Plus, it’s pretty much stroller central these days.)
