The history of “The Junction” dates back to the 1880s when the Grand Trunk, Toronto Grey and Bruce and Northern railway lines began service in this area. The railways attracted industry to the Junction which led labours to move to the neighbourhood. However, by the 1960s the commercial lines bypassed the Junction and led to the decline in the local industries.
Today, the Junction Triangle Toronto is being revitalized as warehouses and factories are being converted to living spaces or being torn down to be replaced with new townhomes. Situated east of Dundas Street west, and in between Dupont and Bloor Street west, this neighbourhood is fast becoming a desired neighbourhood due to its close proximity of High Park as well as easy access to the Bloor subway line. Signature landmarks include the West Toronto Railpath, a unique pathway that runs along a 2.1 kilometre stretch of abandoned rail line purchased by the City of Toronto in 2002. The historic Dundas Street west offers a variety of local shops and restaurants unique to the area. The area is serviced by buses that connect passengers to the Yonge-University-Spadina and Bloor-Danforth subway lines. Motorist can drive downtown is approximately 10 minutes by taking Bloor or Dundas Street.
Junction Triangle Toronto features two and three-storey Victorian-style houses, built between the 1910s and 1920s. The neighbourhood is also currently undergoing large building developments of new townhomes and condominium loft units, offering affordable new homes in Toronto.
