About Downtown East

Encapsulating two of Toronto’s most historic waterfront neighbourhoods—the Distillery District and the Esplanade—Downtown East is one of the most exciting places to be in Toronto. The Esplanade is primarily residential, while the Distillery District contains both commercial shopping areas and offices (as well as some private residences).

Both parts of the lakeside Downtown East neighbourhood were originally constructed in the mid 1800s. They’re known for their beautiful heritage features, which showcase the best that the time period has to offer. Expect cobblestone streets, repurposed industrial-era buildings, and remnants of early Toronto railway and shipping lines.

From this waterfront community’s 19th-century blue-collar beginnings to the shopping and residential hub it is today, Downtown East has always been a bustling part of Toronto’s eastern lakeshore.

Who Lives Here

While this fascinating part of Toronto would appeal to almost anyone, the neighbourhood’s tight and condensed layout means there are few homes large enough to accommodate growing families.

What you will find is many modern condo buildings and redeveloped industrial-era lofts, which are ideal for singles and young couples. Those who want to enjoy the liveliness and historic beauty of the Distillery District can expect to pay a premium.

What's Great About It?

Since its redevelopment into a pedestrian-friendly commercial and residential area in 2001, the Distillery District has remained one of the most popular shopping and tourist destinations in the city.

Surrounded by iconic Toronto landmarks (namely the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, founded in 1832), this neighbourhood offers one of the most unique shopping atmospheres around.

With everything from high-end furniture stores and trendy restaurants to independent cafes and fun boutiques, there’s no shortage of things to see and do in the district. Not only that, but the area’s extremely popular Christmas Market (where live entertainment, incredible food, and artisanal goods converge) is a city-wide favourite.

Downtown East is also very close to major intersections, highways, and public transit. With the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard at your doorstep, it’s quick and convenient to get where you need to go.

Schools

Market Lane Junior and Senior Public School welcomes students in junior kindergarten through grade 8, while the Downtown Alternative School services students from kindergarten to grade 6.

St Michael’s Catholic School is another great option for elementary students, providing faith-based learning for children from k-8.
