Dufferin Grove is a quietly cool west-end neighbourhood tucked between Little Portugal and Roncesvalles. It’s not flashy, but it’s well-educated, diverse, and deeply community-oriented, with a strong sense of local pride. Cultural draws like the Museum of Contemporary Art sit comfortably alongside everyday staples, from the organic farmers’ market in Dufferin Grove Park to the ever-reliable Dufferin Mall. The result is a neighbourhood that feels lived-in, balanced, and always quietly buzzing.
