The Annex (Neighbourhood)

Toronto, Ontario

The Annex is a neighbourhood in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The traditional boundaries of the neighbourhood are north to Dupont Street, south to Bloor Street, west to Bathurst Street and east to Avenue Road.[1] The City of Toronto recognizes a broader neighbourhood definition that includes the adjacent Seaton Village and Yorkville areas.[2]

Bordering the University of Toronto, the Annex has long been a student quarter and is also home to many fraternity housing and members of the university's faculty.[3] Predominantly English-speaking, it is an affluent neighbourhood with well-educated residents. According to the 2006 Canadian census, the neighbourhood has a permanent population of 15,602 with an average income of $63,636, significantly above the average income in the Toronto census metropolitan area.

    The Annex is a great neighbourhood to walk around. There's tons of stuff to do, and lots of places to see. If you're looking for food, there are plenty of restaurants around; if you're looking for something to do, there are bookstores around too. Great place to walk around, you'll always find something interesting here.
