Why We Love It Here

Little Portugal has a fun, urban feel while still appealing to many young families. This neighbourhood appeals to many, including young couples, young families, seniors, and especially those who enjoy an urban lifestyle. There are beautiful Victorian style homes within the Little Portugal real estate, which the residents decorate with a fun, urban flare. It is still fairly affordable for a downtown neighbourhood, being just West of Little Italy.

What To Do & See

This neighbourhood is steps away from Trinity Bellwoods Park, where there’s plenty of open space, tennis courts, a dog park, and a children’s playground. There are also a ton of great restaurants to try along Queen Street West, and, because you’re in Little Portugal, you should also try one of the bakeries along Dundas Street. Little Portugal is very walkable, with plenty of public transportation nearby with streetcars along Dundas, Queen, College, as well as the Bloor subway not too far North.

The Local Claim to Fame

One of the city’s most popular parks, Trinity Bellwoods, is nearby and is really fun to go to on a nice summer day, with lots of people picnicking and playing games. There are many great shops and restaurants along Dundas Street West and along Ossington Avenue, just steps away from Little Portugal real estate.

Little Portugal Real Estate

This community has a variety of real estate options, including freehold homes and a lot of semis and row houses. There are a lot of Victorian-style homes within the Little Portugal real estate, and some new condos are going up along Dundas Street West as the area gains popularity.
