About the Neighbourhood
Church Yonge Corridor
Church-Yonge Corridor residents come from a myriad of different backgrounds, and span the entire spectrum of the socio-economic scale. There is a large number of rental accommodations in this neighbourhood. This reflects the mobility of the population, which is comprised mostly of singles and couples. Toronto Metropolitan University is helping to reshape Toronto’s downtown east core with an expanded campus. The former Maple Leaf Gardens which has been renamed Mattamy Athletic Centre, now serves as the home of the Toronto Metropolitan University Sports and Recreation Centre. Ritzy new condo developments are springing up all over the Church-Yonge Corridor which is rapidly changing the character of this downtown neighbourhood from urban grit to City chic.
