Christo­pher Hume – Toronto Star

1. Yonge Street any­where south of Eglin­ton Avenue (Mid­town and Down­town)
How great would it be to live above a store, restau­rant or bar on Toronto’s main street? Imag­ine walk­ing out your front door and going to your favourite eatery. And of course the sub­way would never be far away.

2. Palmer­ston Boule­vard (Lit­tle Italy and Queen West)
The houses are impres­sive, but more than that there are those won­der­ful street lights. They make Palmer­ston one of our most mem­o­rable streets.

3. Any street in Cab­bage­town, east of Par­lia­ment Street (Cab­bage­town)
Nar­row tree-lined roads, with beau­ti­ful 19^th-century houses – not too big – make this one of the city’s most desir­able neighbourhoods.

4. Falling­brook Cres­cent (The Beaches)
Sit­u­ated at the top of the Scar­bor­ough Bluffs, the houses here aren’t wildly inter­est­ing but enjoy extra­or­di­nary views across Lake Ontario.

5. King Street East between Church and Par­lia­ment Streets (Old Town Toronto)
Bit by bit, the archi­tec­ture in this his­toric area of town is dis­ap­pear­ing beneath a layer of new con­struc­tion. But there’s just enough left that even today the past is alive if not entirely well.

6. Ellis Park Road (High Park)
Shady and wind­ing, this is a street on the west side of High Park that feels more a part of a small town than a big city. Obvi­ously built long before the plan­ning depart­ment got its hands on things, it oozes char­ac­ter.

7. Mont­crest Boule­vard (The Dan­forth)
Run­ning west from Broad­view Avenue at the north end, this short dead-end street boasts what’s arguably the best view of the down­town.

8. Tranby Avenue (Yorkville / Rosedale)
The houses are small, close together and thor­oughly urban. Extend­ing from Avenue Road to Bed­ford Road, it’s close to prac­ti­cally every­thing but quiet, almost serene.

9. Shef­fley Cres­cent (Eto­bi­coke)
Dat­ing from Etobicoke’s post-war hey­day – maybe a lit­tle later – this is fam­ily lifestyle ter­ri­tory. Leafy and lively, it’s the sort of place where kids really do play hockey in the streets.

10. Queens Quay (Water­front)
It’s not up to much now, but in the decades ahead, once the four-lane artery has been reduced to two and trees have been planted, this could be the city’s grand water­front street.
