The only Toronto neighbourhood surrounded by a lake, a river and a pond as its natural boundaries – a one of a kind community to live in and raise your family.

Swansea’s hilly terrain, winding roads and many mature trees accentuate the storybook houses that line the residential streets of this neighbourhood.

Shopping could not get any better! Bloor West Village shopping district features many specialty shops, fruit markets, European delis/bakeries and fantastic restaurants. Walk to do all your grocery shopping – including Bloor West Meat Market, Snapper's Fish Market or Cheese Boutique.

Well served by public transit system – walk to Runnymede or Jane subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth subway line.

Motorists enjoy the convenience of being located only minutes away from the Gardiner Expressway & Lake Shore Blvd.

Residents love their neighbourhood jewel - Rennie Park - with 4 tennis courts, an artificial ice rink for hockey indoors & out, playing fields and a wading pool. High Park & Grenadier Pond feature a full day of recreational activities including fishing, theatre performances, train rides, an animal zoo, historical exhibits, a restaurant, farmer's market, a myriad of fitness opportunities & off-leash dog walks. Easy access to Lake Ontario & The Martin Goodman Trail, as well as the Humber River, Etienne Brule park and paths.

Great community spirit in Swansea, with so many recreation centres, libraries and local activities.
