Davenport Village

Davenport Road traces an ancient shoreline; what was once submerged underwater is now a thriving area -- a mixed ecosystem of industry, residence and commerce. The area is home to a diverse community; predominantly Portuguese, Italian and Latin American. It is a neighbourhood in transition, as auto body shops transform into cafes and bars, and younger families move in. Peppered with parkettes, warehouses, and rehearsal spaces, this once uber industrial neighbourhood has people venturing north of Bloor.
