Riverdale is the gateway to Toronto's east end neighbourhoods. It is a large
and diverse community that is especially known for its colourful shopping
districts and quaint Victorian homes.
North Riverdale from Gerrard to the Danforth is very popular with young
affluent professionals and families. South Riverdale which has been dubbed
"Studio City" is a popular home for music, art and film professionals. South
Riverdale which is home to over 50 film-related companies, and
approximately 70 per cent of Ontario's studio space, is now one of the top 5
filming locations in Ontario.
Riverdale is an ideal location for commuters. The Don Valley Expressway,
Lake Shore Boulevard, and the Gardiner Expressway are all quickly
accessed from the neighbourhood.
With a myriad of parks and shopping districts including a Chinatown, Queen
Broadview Village, Gerrard Square and much of the Greek community along
the Danforth, Riverdale offers something of interest for everyone.
