A relatively easy cache at the pedestrian entrance to Liberty Village. Wheelchair accessible.
Liberty Village, a relatively new neighbourhood in Toronto, is bounded at the north by King Street West, the west by Dufferin Street, the south by the Gardiner Expressway, the east by Strachan Avenue, and the northeast by the CP railway tracks. The Liberty Village name was recently introduced as a positive 'brand' by the property owners and developers in the area. The neighbourhood aims to distinguish itself from Parkdale, which now begins west of Dufferin Street.
The ongoing gentrification of downtown Toronto has been pushing further outwards from downtown (see Queen Street West, Niagara, Distillery District), encouraging rapid development. It has become a trendy neighbourhood for young professionals pushing further west for less established areas, while still remaining a short drive or streetcar ride from the core. Most condominiums and offices are being built inside old factories, as this area is primarily a former heavy industrial area which has been largely abandoned for many years.
Offices are mostly concentrated in the west end of Liberty Village. New condo developments are currently focused on East Liberty Street, which begins east of Hanna Avenue. Several new restaurants have opened in recent years, providing the residents and workers in the community with a place to enjoy a beverage after work.
Liberty Village is also known for its successful Art and Design studios. Many Canadian and US design firms have located to Liberty Village, creating many jobs for the increasing number of citizens that have moved into the growing neighbourhood.
Many, many muggles, but with some stealth, it shouldn't prove to be a problem.
