MY MEDALLION
Location, location, location is a real estate motto for a reason: your quality of life has a lot to do with nearby amenities. Leisure opportunities, like bars and restaurants, as well as convenient shopping and greenspace, are great selling points when you’re looking to choose your next home. Luckily, when you live at Sherbourne Towns in Toronto, there’s a great variety of shopping, dining, and greenspace! Read on for our top choices.
Great Selection of Groceries
One of the first things you’ll look for in a prospective neighbourhood is basic amenities like groceries. When you live at Sherbourne Towns, you have many choices for where to pick up ingredients for dinner. There is a Freshco right in your building, so you never have to worry about carrying your groceries long distances. It’s open until 10pm, so late night runs for milk and eggs will be easy! In addition, Longo’s is nearby, which has a great organic selection and to-go salads and dinners, and also Rabba’s Fine Foods, which is famed for its freshly baked goods and is open 24/7. Cabbagetown Organics offers only the freshest organic produce along with nut and gluten free options. With a wide variety of great food nearby, you’ll never be stuck without dinner options when you live at Sherbourne Towns in Toronto!
Hiking and Biking in Rosedale Ravine Lands
When you live at Sherbourne Towns you’re right next to the action of downtown, but you’re also next to miles of creek covered by a beautiful tree canopy! Trees in the ravine can be as old as 150 years, and it’s a great place to spot rare wildflowers and other stunning vegetation. Located steps from Sherbourne Towns, Rosedale Ravine Lands is an 8km long loop between the Bayview Extension and St Clair. Whether you go for a leisurely stroll or a swift run, the Ravine Lands offer beautiful greenspace in the heart of Toronto!
Trendy Restaurants for a Night Out
When you’re after a special night out, there’s a wonderful selection of nearby restaurants to choose from when you live at Sherbourne Towns. For authentic Italian food, we recommend F’Amelia. They are beloved in the neighbourhood for their takeout pizza–try the Funghi!– and offer brunch every weekend. If you’re looking for French inspired food and a sophisticated bistro vibe, check out Smith. Their space boasts three different floors and a beautiful patio nestled behind the restaurant. If you love the flavours of Thailand and Laos, Sabai Sabai is a wonderful option! With classics like panang curry, their smaller menu allows them to give each dish the care it deserves to fully unlock its flavour profile!
Your Pick of Fitness Choices
Whether you’re a dedicated gym rat or like to occasionally drop by a class, proximity to a great fitness club is a must! When you live at Sherbourne Towns, you will never be out of choices for where to work out. Classics like Goodlife are nearby, with their affordable memberships and range of many different classes. Orangetheory is also a short walk away, with their scientifically based group workouts that are sure to get your heart pumping. Finally, there is Equinox in Yorkville. This luxury gym may come with a higher price tag than our other suggestions, but it comes with top of the line equipment and perks like full towel service and complimentary Kiehl’s products in the locker rooms. In addition, their classes are cutting-edge and amongst the most challenging you’ll find in Toronto.
Cabbagetown Farmers’ Market
Devoted to promoting sustainable food initiatives to the Cabbagetown community, this farmer’s market has a great selection of fresh local produce and delicious treats from a variety of vendors. Founded by a local food activist in 2001, the Cabbagetown Farmers’ Market is Toronto’s oldest farmer’s market that set the standard for those that followed. Taking place from June to October in beautiful Riverdale Park every Tuesday, this is one event a foodie can’t miss!
