About Bloor West Village / High Park
Neighbourhood Guide
Bloor West Village is the commercial and social heart of the area west of Runnymede Avenue along Bloor Street, extending toward the Jane Street intersection. Established in the early 1970s as one of Toronto's first Business Improvement Areas, the neighbourhood has a cohesive and well-maintained commercial strip with an unusually high concentration of independently owned shops, restaurants, and services. The surrounding residential streets — Jane, Quebec, Windermere, Riverside Drive — are characterized by detached and semi-detached houses with generous lot sizes that are rare this close to downtown.
Getting Around
35 Rowntree Avenue is 3.0 km from High Park Station — roughly a 36-minute walk — giving you direct TTC subway access. Runnymede and Keele stations on the Bloor–Danforth line (Line 2) serve the neighbourhood, with Jane station to the west providing access farther along Bloor. The 71 Runnymede and 66 Prince Edward buses provide north-south connections. High Park station is a ten-minute walk east and provides access to one of the largest parks in the city. The neighbourhood's relative distance from downtown means many residents commute by subway.
Parks & Green Space
High Park is the defining green space for this part of Toronto — a 161-hectare park that includes Grenadier Pond, a small zoo, the Hillside Gardens, the Colborne Lodge historic site, and some of the most significant remaining Carolinian forest in the city. The park's cherry blossoms attract thousands of visitors in late April and early May each year. Catfish Pond and the park's trail network offer a genuine naturalized experience for a park this close to a major North American city.
Neighbourhood Character
Bloor West Village has a stable, established feel — a high proportion of homeowners and long-term tenants, active community organizations, and a commercial strip that prioritizes local business. The neighbourhood is known for its cleanliness, engaged residents, and strong connections between the business community and local schools. It is one of the most family-oriented neighbourhoods in the inner west end.
Practical Notes for Renters
Renters in Bloor West Village and the immediate High Park area should expect to pay a premium relative to comparable apartments further west in Etobicoke. The neighbourhood's appeal to families and the scarcity of purpose-built rental apartments mean that turnover is low. Renters who secure an apartment here and treat it well tend to stay for many years.
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.
