new neighbourhood
Discover new homes for sale in Toronto’s Entertainment District, a neighbourhood where the city’s passion takes center stage. Walkable, electrifying, and rich with stories past and present, this is where culture lives, where creativity thrives, and where life feels like its own premiere.
When the CN Tower rose above Toronto’s skyline in the 1970s, it marked more than engineering triumph—it became a beacon, transforming what lay below. The once-industrial garment district gave way to something dazzling: a neighbourhood of marquee lights, cultural landmarks, and unforgettable nights. Today, Toronto’s Entertainment District is where the city comes to perform—on stage, at the table, and in the streets. From the glow of Roy Thomson Hall to rooftop lounges buzzing after dark, every corner feels cinematic. Empire Homes welcomes you to the heart of it all, where the streets themselves seem to shimmer with promise.
In Toronto’s Entertainment District, the city doesn’t just unfold—it performs. Mornings begin with lattes on King Street West, where creative minds gather and storefronts buzz with anticipation. As the day moves forward, enjoy a refined meal at Black+Blue, where modern steakhouse elegance meets downtown energy, or indulge in seasonal flavours at Cheffry’s Bistro, a local favourite known for its creative plates and intimate atmosphere. Evenings bring a flicker of marquee lights and the low hum of anticipation outside Roy Thomson Hall, the Princess of Wales Theatre, or Scotiabank Arena. Beneath it all, the PATH system connects work and play with ease, while Union Station and dedicated bike lanes keep the city within reach. Here, every day feels like a premiere, and the city’s energy never misses its cue.
Even in a neighbourhood built for lights, sound, and spectacle, nature has found its stage. Clarence Square Park, with its towering trees and quiet benches, offers a hush in the hum—perfect for a midday pause. A short stroll away, Canoe Landing Park brings art and energy together. The Waterfront Trail beckons cyclists and joggers to trace the lake’s edge, while HTO Park invites sunseekers to sprawl on its urban beach. In the Entertainment District, green spaces aren’t just a retreat—they’re a reminder that even in the city’s heartbeat, it’s okay to
Here, the city doesn’t just surround you—it moves with you. Wide sidewalks and well-trodden paths make it easy to wander from café to meeting to curtain call. St. Andrew and Union Stations put TTC subway lines and GO Transit within easy reach, while the King and Spadina streetcars carry you swiftly to Queen West, Liberty Village, and beyond. Cyclists cruise dedicated bike lanes on Adelaide and Richmond, and the Gardiner Expressway offers a fast exit when the open road calls. Heading further? Pearson Airport is just a UP Express ride away. In the Entertainment District, every route leads to possibility.
