While this actual farmer’s market is known to all as the place in Toronto to buy your sashimi grade tuna and those rare heirloom tomatoes, the hood surrounding is also, quite possibly, one of the nicest places in Toronto to buy real estate. With everything (the downtown core, groceries, restaurants, shopping) literally within walking distance and assembled in aesthetically pleasing way, the St. Lawrence market is an urban planner’s wet dream. Housing is heavy on the condo-loft side of things, but homes are still nestled throughout. It’s also the place you really want to be when you’re hit with one of those rare but acute cravings for back bacon on a bun.
