Welcome to Junction Area, Toronto
Overview
The Junction is a neighbourhood near the West Toronto Diamond, a junction of four railway lines in the area. The Junction was a manufacturing community that rose quickly during the late 19th century. Recent rapid gentrification has meant new chic restaurants and bars have opened up along Dundas Street, attracting young people, while lower rents make the neighbourhood appealing to artists.
