Walkable Sustainable Neighborhood Series- Roncesvalles Village

Roncesvalles Village (also known as Roncey Village), the neighbourhood east of High Park, contributes to Toronto's cultural mosaic. The neighbourhood is predominently residential with an integrated mix of traditional and contemporary commercial businesses along the tree-lined Roncesvalles Avenue.The strip north of Queen Street is the cultural centre of Toronto's Polish community with a concentration of specialty Polish food markets, delis, and restaurants which offers the area a bit of old world charm.

The best way to experience Roncesvalles Village is to take the time to walk the street. The diverse community, taste, smell from the pastries and aroma from the shops, and the variety of textures that the whole family can enjoy are what keep residences and the public to keep coming back. It's close proximity to the downtown core by streetcar makes this a popular area among home buyers.

 The Roncesvalles BIA is currenlty participating in the Bloor/Dundas Avenue study immediately north which will make recommendations on how best to implement the City’s Official Plan along Bloor Street, between Keele and Dundas West, and along Dundas West from Bloor to Roncesvalles. These recommendations will determine zoning, development and planning policies for the area which will enhance pedestrian connections from Bloor to Roncesvalles, as well as explore design and development opportunities at the junction of Dundas and Roncesvalles.
