Neighbourhoods/
Wychwood
Tree-lined streets of family homes off St. Clair West. I live here, so I know these streets as a neighbour.
What it's like
A close-knit neighbourhood of family homes around St. Clair West and Christie, with a strong community feel. It takes its name from Wychwood Park, a private enclave of arts-and-crafts houses that began as an artists' colony in the late 1800s.
The homes
Mostly brick detached and semi-detached houses from the early 1900s on quiet residential streets, many renovated and extended over the years, with some low-rise condos along St. Clair.
Getting around
The St. Clair streetcar runs in its own lane along St. Clair Avenue, and St. Clair West station on Line 1 is a short walk east. It's an easy drive downtown or to the highway via Allen Road.
Parks, schools and shops
Wychwood Barns, a former streetcar repair yard turned community and arts centre, is the heart of the neighbourhood, with a park, a playground and a year-round Saturday farmers' market. St. Clair West has restaurants, cafés, bakeries and grocers within walking distance.
