Welcome to YORKVILLE REAL ESTATE FOR SALE where we are continuously building a Real Estate Web Portal to serve the Neighbourhood of Yorkville in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Located at the north end of the Downtown Toronto core, this neighbourhood is bounded by Avenue Rd. to the west, Yonge Street to the east, Bloor St. W. to the south and Davenport Ave. to the north.  Yorkville is also considered a part of The Annex Neighbourhood and encompasses the eastern perimeter of this district which stretches west to Bathurst Street.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
As depicted in the above map of the city, Yorkville is centrally located along the north perimeter of Downtown Toronto and is considered one of Toronto’s most fashionable and prestigious Residential Real Estate Districts.  Mostly renown for the many upscale condominiums there are a limited supply of the stately homes available and recent developments of townhomes as well. Having a Yorkville home means that you are in very close (if not immediate) proximity to downtown shops, entertainment districts and to Bay Street and Toronto’s Financial District. This area is a much sought after location with prices for Real Estate Listings often exceeding a million dollars.
Yorkville is also considered one of Toronto’s most fashionable and prestigious Commercial Real Estate Districts with Bloor Street West, Cumberland Street, Yorkville Avenue, Bellair Street and Hazelton Lanes offering upscale and trendy shops, galleries, salons, cafes and restaurants.
YORKVILLE REAL ESTATE = TORONTO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
Yorkville is rich in Real Estate History:  The area of Yorkville was founded in 1830 by then prominent citizens of the Town of York (early Toronto): Joseph Bloor and William Jarvis. Their goal was to provide a garden suburb on what was a suburb of the town.  When the Town of York became the City of Toronto in 1833, the Village of Yorkville maintained its independence and was only annexed to the City in 1883.  It wasn’t until the completion of the Bloor Danforth subway line (public transit) in 1966 that higher population densities were allowed by the City’s official plans:  Homes along Bloor Street were converted to shops and condominiums.  In the 1960’s and 1970’s Yorkville became a bohemian mecca for the hippies:  The CBC presents an excellent Documentary into this time period.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s high end retailers began locating along Bloor Street and low rise office buildings were replaced with high-rise office buildings.  As demand for the prime downtown location increased the once run down area attracted substantial real estate investment and renewal resulting in the posh lifestyle enjoyed by those living in the Yorkville of today.
It is fitting that this Toronto garden oasis of the 1800’s has become one of the prized real estate locations in the City of Toronto.  Land is at a premium and most all pieces of Yorkville property have been developed or are being developed mostly in the form of condominium towers.  While there are a few Yorkville houses that exist in the neighbourhood the residential area is most renowned for the luxury condos. According to Wikipedia: Yorkville now commands rents of $300 per square foot, making it the 3rd most expensive retail space in North America. Bloor St. was recently named the 7th most expensive shopping street in the world by Fortune Magazine, claiming tenants can pull in $1,500 to $4,500 per square foot in sales. Yorkville homes sell for a million dollars and more while one bedroom condos start at around $350,000.
YORKVILLE ARCHITECTURE & MORE YORKVILLE HISTORY
The original architecture of Yorkville Houses presented the Victorian style homes imported during the 1800s from Europe.  Most have kept the Victorian architecture of the early days yet their new home owners have in most cases completed extensive renovations to keep current with modern day advances in technology: e.g. building amenities to suit their needs, electrical and plumbing upgrades, etc.  As the Yorkville Homes and buildings are an important part of Toronto's heritage Historical Designations strive to protect many of the Yorkville buildings. The Yorkville Public Library (built by the famous steel tycoon and philanthropist: Andrew Carnegie) and the Yorkville Fire Hall are examples of this.
Modernism often reflects the architecture of the new condominium developments.  To attract the upscale clientele large lobbies promoting elegance for sale are most often the norm.
