Todmorden Village…
Todmorden Village
Nestled in the Don Valley Ravine between East York on the east and Yorkville on the West, Todmorden Village sits near the 19th century mill and brewery with which it shares a name. A great location for commuters Todmorden residents have easy access to the Don Valley Parkway to take them south to the Lakeshore or Gardiner Expressway or north to the 401. Just up the hill at Broadview and Danforth sits Broadview Subway Station as well as the Broadview Streetcar. The area also features paved bicycle paths and waking trails.
This mature neighbourhood features mainly older single family, detached homes on quiet tree-lined streets. Home styles vary from Tudor-style and Edwardian two storey homes to stone bungalows and Victorian cottages. This eclectic neighbourhood is a great mix of new to century old dwellings.
Walking distance to the popular shopping and entertainment hub on the Danforth, Todmorden itself hosts a popular city museum, theatre and education facility. On the west side of the Bayview extension sits the Evergreen Brickworks – an ambitious environmental reclamation project that is garnering rave reviews around the world. The Brickworks hosts a popular weekend farmers’ market as well as art shows and other events. This former brick factory has been transformed into an education centre, an environmental heritage site that is fast becoming an international showcase for urban sustainability and green design.
