Riverside vs. Kensington Market for Renting

Posted by HelpfulRenter934 • August 25, 2026 • 11 comments

I'm trying to decide between Riverside and Kensington Market for my first apartment in Toronto. Riverside has great parks and a more laid-back vibe, while Kensington is vibrant with lots of cafes and shops. What’s your take on the atmosphere, social life, and housing options in these neighborhoods?
