About East York / Coxwell
Neighbourhood Guide
East York — the former borough centred on Danforth Avenue between Pape and Victoria Park Avenues, extending south toward Queen Street East — is one of Toronto's most stable and genuinely residential inner-suburban communities. Unlike the inner city neighbourhoods to the west, East York is primarily low-rise and detached, with the Danforth Avenue commercial strip serving as the primary retail and transit corridor. The Coxwell and Woodbine station areas provide the main concentration of apartment buildings in an otherwise house-dominated area.
Getting Around
1420 Kingston Road is 1.8 km from Victoria Park Station — roughly a 22-minute walk — giving you direct TTC subway access. The Bloor–Danforth subway line (Line 2) serves East York with multiple stations — Coxwell, Woodbine, and Main Street — providing excellent east-west subway access. The 70 O'Connor bus connects the neighbourhood's interior streets to the Bloor–Danforth and Eglinton corridors. East York is among the easiest parts of the city to live car-free, given the frequency and reach of the Bloor–Danforth subway.
Parks & Green Space
East York Memorial Park, at Coxwell and Cosburn, provides sports facilities and community space for the neighbourhood's interior. Taylor Creek Park connects the East York portion of the Don Valley trail system, with trail access at Pharmacy Avenue and Dawes Road providing entry points to one of the longer urban trail corridors in the city. The Dentonia Golf Course and Park, on Victoria Park Avenue, is a public golf facility within the broader neighbourhood.
Neighbourhood Character
East York has a notably stable community character — high rates of long-term residence, active neighbourhood associations, and a commercial strip on Danforth that reflects the diversity of the surrounding community. The area has a significant Greek-Canadian presence as part of the broader Greektown district, as well as South Asian, South American, and East Asian communities further east toward Victoria Park. It is genuinely a neighbourhood where people stay for years and know their neighbours.
Practical Notes for Renters
East York offers strong value for renters who want direct Bloor–Danforth subway access in a lower-density environment than downtown or midtown. The neighbourhood's apartment buildings, particularly on Coxwell Avenue and the streets around Main Street station, tend to offer good-sized suites in older low-rise buildings. The Danforth's food scene — Greek, South Asian, Ethiopian, and more — is an everyday practical asset for apartment renters.
Renting in Toronto: Your Rights as a Tenant
Ontario Residential Tenancies Act
Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) applies to virtually all Toronto rental units and provides significant, enforceable protections for tenants. Here is a summary of the key rights every Toronto renter should understand before signing a lease.
Rent Increases
For units first occupied before November 15, 2018, annual rent increases are limited by the Ontario government's annual guideline (2.5% in 2024 and 2025). Units first occupied on or after November 15, 2018 are not subject to rent increase guidelines — landlords may increase rent by any amount, but must still provide 90 days' written notice using the prescribed form.
Deposits
Under Ontario law, a landlord may only collect a last month's rent deposit before you move in — no security deposit, damage deposit, or pet deposit is legal. Any additional deposits collected above the last month's rent are prohibited by the RTA, regardless of what the lease says.
Entry and Privacy
Your landlord must provide at least 24 hours' written notice before entering your unit for non-emergency purposes (such as repairs, inspections, or showing the unit). The notice must state the reason and the time of entry (between 8am and 8pm). Emergency entry is permitted without notice.
Lease Continuation
When a fixed-term lease (such as a one-year lease) expires, it automatically converts to a month-to-month tenancy on the same terms — the landlord cannot require you to sign a new lease or leave. Your rent does not automatically increase when a lease term ends.
Maintenance
Landlords are required to maintain rental units in a good state of repair and in compliance with health, safety, and maintenance standards — regardless of the tenant's rent level. This obligation exists even if the tenant knew about a problem before moving in.
Eviction
Landlords cannot evict a tenant without following the proper legal process. Eviction notices must use prescribed forms, provide the legally required notice period, and state a legitimate reason (non-payment of rent, landlord's own use, substantial renovations, etc.). Most evictions must be confirmed by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) at a hearing if the tenant disputes them.
The Landlord and Tenant Board (ltb.gov.on.ca) handles all disputes between landlords and tenants in Ontario and offers information, mediation, and adjudication services. Tenant Duty Counsel is available at LTB hearings at no cost to help tenants understand their rights.

Planning your move to 1420 Kingston Road, Toronto
