To the tune of Hell N Back by Bakar, let the beauty of South Eglinton-Davisville roll over you.
Davisville is where Old Toronto meets midtown, a picturesque, family-friendly neighbourhood ideal for solo walks and avid cyclists.
Located right by Eglinton and Davisville subway stations, the neighbourhood is a welcome middle ground between the bustle of downtown and vast green spaces.
In between the tree-lined streets, take a picturesque walk down local staples like the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail, with its iconic bridge decorated with silhouettes of horses sculpted by local artist Robert Sprachman.
Beyond its greenery, Davisville is made up of a mix of modern and 19th-century apartments. Most local residents are of European descent, while a third the neighbourhood has with roots across the Black, Asian and Latinx diaspora. All these cultures are prominent, as you can hear Farsi, Spanish or Korean during a stroll, or spot places like Turkish restaurant Nevizade.Â
Whether you need a break from the overwhelming hustle and bustle of downtown, or you just want a little cinematic solitude for your daily walk, Davisville is your best bet.
