Entertainment District / Queen West, Toronto
 
Toronto’s very own Entertainment District can be found along King Street West between Spadina Avenue and University Avenue. Sitting comfortably between the Fashion District and Financial District, the trendy Queen West neighbourhood is also just to the north (see map below).
 
Formerly the very industrial Garment District, fashion and textiles manufacturing began to leave their large warehouses and factories behind as they moved away from the District in the 1970s.

The Queen West Neighbourhood in downtown Toronto occupies the westernmost portion of Queen Street West from the north side of Adelaide north to the south side of Dundas - from Spadina west to Lansdowne (see map below).
 
Next to the theatre district and close to Chinatown and Kensington Market, the Queen West area has grown into a hub for the arts and is home to a number of notable tourist attractions like the Gladstone Hotel, Trinity Bellwoods Park, the Drake, Graffiti Alley and of course, 299 Queen Street West, the former MuchMusic and Citytv building.

In the 1980s nightclubs began to move into these vacant spaces. A decade later, the Toronto Entertainment District was actually one of the biggest nightclub hotspots in North America, along with being home to many restaurants and bars.

In the 2000s, the area saw a rich condo constriction boom and many of the remaining historic warehouses and factories were also converted into lofts. 
 
While not home to all of the theaters in Toronto like Ed Mirvish Theatre or Massey Hall, the Entertainment District includes hosts The Toronto International Film Festival and is home to many performing arts centres, family attractions, theatres like the Royal Alexandria and Princess Margaret along with the city’s biggest sports teams – The Toronto Argonauts, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors.
 
Close to transit, immensely walkable and always bustling with fine dining, nightlife, festivals and entertainment, the aptly-named Entertainment District is a great place to live.
 
Whether you are planning on living in Toronto’s Entertainment District or want to invest in a condo, the Entertainment District offers everything from newer condos to loft conversions to combination “condotels” – condos with boutique hotel amenities and service.
