What Make Roncesvalles Great?

June 28, 2020 by admin

Roncesvalles is mainly residential, with a commercial strip predominantly made up of small businesses, churches and institutions which gives it a small-town community feel. “Roncy” is known for its European ambience, and culturally the area known as Toronto’s Polish Village, which hosts the largest Polish Festival in North America, every September.

This neighbourhood is popular with families who appreciate the location and convenience while retaining easy access to Downtown Toronto.

The close proximity to 400 acres of High Park (a recreational and natural park with sporting facilities, even a small zoo!) to the west, Toronto waterfront bicycle and walking trails, easy access to Lake Ontario and public transit, all the shops and restaurants make Roncesvalles a popular choice.

Property and Home Types

Detached homes are rare in this low-turnover area, the homes you’ll find in Roncesvalles are usually semi-detached or attached. The odd building along Sorauren Avenue have been converted into loft-style condominiums scattered here and there, Feather Factory Lofts (2154 Dundas St W) and Robert Watson Lofts (369 Sorauren) are a couple of examples.

Neighbourhood Specialities

Aside from the small-town community feel, just take a walk down Roncesvalle Avenue to enjoy all the coffee shops, amazing restaurants, and Polish delis. Then stroll down by Lake Ontario, or head out to High Park for some tennis or afternoon park walk. Locals also will take advantage of the Sorauren Farmers’ Market in Sorauren Avenue park’s charming square. For your stomach, you can grab some breakfast at The Ace, Café Polonez for some Polish food at lunch time, and then ribs at Barque Smokehouse, or BBQ at Islas Filipino BBQ and Bar.
