Known as Toronto\u2019s \u201cSecond Downtown,\u201d there are a lot of reasons to live in North York. This neighbourhood is buzzing with great dining, nightlife and things to do – it\u2019s hard not to love it! <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the reasons why North York is such a Toronto hotspot. <\/p>\n

1. There are Plenty of Multicultural Festivals<\/h2>\n

North York is an incredibly multicultural neighborhood, which means there are plenty of great festivals throughout the year that celebrate the diversity there. There\u2019s the Iranian Festival, the Korean Harvest Festival, the Aloha Festival, the Hispanic Fiesta and more. <\/p>\n

Many of the public festivals in this neighbourhood take place in Mel Lastman Square, named after a previous mayor of North York. These events are a great opportunity to listen to diverse music, taste cuisine from around the world and learn about another culture. <\/p>\n

2. Public Transit Connections Are Great<\/h2>\n

When you live in North York, you might not be right in the centre of downtown but you will be connected to the city by some very convenient public transit links. You can take the Yonge-University Line 1 to and from many major stations, including Finch, North York Centre and Sheppard-Yonge. You\u2019ll also have easy access to major highways including the 407 and 401. <\/p>\n

3. The Museums and Historic Sites Are Excellent<\/h2>\n

A lot of history has taken place in North York, which means that there are plenty of interesting sites to explore. For example, one of the best is Gibson House – a heritage museum that contains a fascinating collection of 19th century art pieces. They tell the story of the evolution of North York through the years. To learn more about the history of North York and learn about events and workshops in the area, you can visit the North York Historical Society<\/a>. <\/p>\n

4. You Can Shop Until You Drop<\/h2>\n

If shopping is your favourite pastime, living in North York will make you feel spoiled for choice. It\u2019s home to two of the five major shopping malls in Toronto – the Fairview Mall and the Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Plus, there\u2019s also several other shopping centres. These include the Sheppard Centre, the Shops at Don Mills, Yorkgate Mall, Sheridan Mall, Bayview Village and Centrepoint Mall. No matter what you\u2019re hunting for, you\u2019re sure to find it. <\/p>\n

5. There\u2019s So Much Delicious Food<\/h2>\n

Because North York is one of the most culturally diverse regions in Toronto, it boasts a superb collection of restaurants. From authentic Asian cuisine to North African flavours to Italian dishes, you can find pretty much anything you may be craving. <\/p>\n

For example, if it\u2019s Chinese food you love – head to Congee Queen<\/a>. You\u2019ll find high quality authentic Cantonese food such as spicy squid, soft shell crab fried rice or beef brisket lo mein. Or, if you\u2019re in the mood for Indian cuisine, The Veggie Thali<\/a> serves up vegetarian dishes with a rich blend of spices and herb – paired with a refreshing mango shake. <\/p>\n
