Bordered by luscious tree lined Streets, Bathurst St. on it's west, Avenue Rd. on it's east, Dupont St. on it's north; and Bloor St. forming it's south boundary, is the residential neighbourhood known as the Annex.

The Annex mainly consists of tree lined one-way streets lined with beautiful large Victorian style homes and mansions, most of which were built in the 1880s and the early 1900s.

Many of these old style homes have been converted into multi-tenant apartment buildings. With an exciting social and retail area running along it's borders, the area offers residents a broad range of services from glamorous dining to discount stores such as Honest Ed's (a landmark building in the city - Honest Ed Mirvish, who died in 2007, made famous).

The Annex is one of Toronto's more expensive neighbourhoods in which to own or rent a home. Because of the closeness of the University of Toronto, it has a high seasonal rate in occupancy turnover. The residents in the Annex area range from university students to long-time residents.

There are not a lot of residential condos in the Annex but a few, like The Loretto (just completed in '07) with lofts and townhouses, the old Creed's store at Dupont and Bedford offer some interesting alternatives, and some new high end condos like Museum House on Bloor St just across the street to the Royal Ontario Museum ("ROM") are now popping up.
