An amazing family friendly tree-filled neighbourhood that is centrally located, south of Dupont St. and east of Christie St. Seaton Village has managed to maintain the feel of a small town village, yet being close to all major amenities the city has to offer.
Imagine being able to walk to the Varsity Cinema or strolling back late from Little Italy or the Ossington Strip. U of T, the JCC, and all the Annex has to offer is only a few blocks away.
One truly amazing thing about living on Olive Avenue is the annual street party now celebrating their 35th year where neighbours get together for pot luck, watch their kids perform and just hang out and have a good time.
Residents love their local jewel -- Vermont Square! This lush city park is lined with trees, a children's playground and a wading pool.

Bonus - Get VIP courtside tickets every year along the Santa Clause parade routes usually closed off unless you are a local resident.
