Location
Annex
The Annex district is at the heart of Toronto. The Annex is mainly residential, and streets are lined with tall trees dwarfing the large Victorian and Edwardian houses, most of them built between 1880 and the early 1900s. There are now over 500 buildings in the Annex that are protected by the Toronto Historical Board.
Our coliving is located 1 minute away from the Dupont Subway station. Nestled on quite a tree-lined street between the world-famous Casa Loma, Spadina Museum, the popular Bloor Street, and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). We are within walking distance to many trendy restaurants, cheap eats, grocery stores, and small shops, as well as the University of Toronto (Saint George) campus (UofT), Korea Town, upscale Yorkville, The Bata Shoe Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Kensington Market and Chinatown.
