The King West area may be known for its sprawl of condos and clubs, but it’s so much more than that! It’s the top Toronto neighbourhood to be in if you want to be fully immersed in city life. King West has the bustling nightlife, modern real estate, and convenient location that attracts the 20 and 30-somethings that make up most of its population.
