Neighbourhood Profile - The Best Of Queen West

Nothing represents Toronto quite like Queen St W! Once named the hippest address in town; the original strip of Queen West now plays host to global brands like Zara and H&M. Just west of Spadina store fronts house independent, funky shops that Queen West is known for! With a 24 hour streetcar line (also, the longest streetcar route in North America) running along this area’s main artery, plenty of green space and a great neighbourhood feel, this area has something for everyone!

With so many options, where should you start? Here are some of my favourite places to visit in Queen West.

Best Brunch – Swan Restaurant
Best Coffee Shop – White Squirrel Coffee Shop
Best Furniture Shop – Design Republic and CB2
Best Patio – Java House and The Black Bull
Best Late Night Venue- Horseshoe Tavern
Best Green Space – Trinity Bellwoods Park
Best Restaurant – Terroni

From reviewing the market for a period of time before Listing my property, to the process of collaboration on how to best showcase my home and establishment of the right price when going to Market, the […]

She was very personable and I felt very comfortable with her. A shout out to the website as well, it felt like the right […]

Candace, Lori, and everyone we interacted with on the Christine Cowern team were a pleasure to work with. Navigating the market can be overwhelming, but we felt supported throughout the entire process as we found our perfect rental. They will be our first call for our next move!

I worked with the Christine Cowern team to purchase a condo in Toronto. As a first-time homebuyer, I felt really nervous about trying to enter the market, especially in a city like Toronto.

My experience with my agent Heather was all positives. She felt like a friend and was invested in helping me sell my condo for the best possible price. The group helped every step of the way. I have already recommended Heather to friends and will keep recommending!

We bought our first home with Ali from the Christine Cowern team, and the experience was better than I could have hoped for.

Tara and Christine were amazing at communication and helping us to find our home in East York in 2018. We spent about 1 year searching all around Toronto for a home and learning the market and the process and Christine’s team was extremely patient with us as we had a lot to learn!! We did […]

We recently purchased a condo in Toronto while living in Vancouver. Candace + Lori from this team were superstars in helping us find the right place and provided every possible support starting from driving us around, to pre-checking out condos/apartments before we showed up. They even did FaceTime from condos to show us the places […]
