Liberty Village
Once dotcom central, Liberty Village has parlayed its tech cred and industrial roots into a hot spot for burgeoning Web 2.0 start-ups, porn web sites, film and television production companies and a growing residential community settling into former factories turned lofts. Soccer and ultimate Frisbee teams come to play at Lamport Stadium while avid rock climbers tackle the walls at Joe Rockheads. The revitalized Liberty Market Building is quickly becoming a local landmark, home to a growing mix of restaurants and shops.

Toronto's Best In This 'HoodComments (11)
nice neighbourhood overview! I've worked in the hood for years and you got all the important spots to mention, including island foods. one thing, the Warehouse Grill has live jazz on their patio every thursday at lunch. always nice.
it's a okay neighbourhood.. I worked there and I moved away... it's so isolated and the never ending construction drive people crazy. Very dusty environment full of SOHO wannabes and just not there yet...
I've lived in the village for 7 years and love it. Haven't noticed a dust problem. A lot of artists live there so I suppose those are the SOHO wannabees that Natasha was talking about although I don't know how being an artist makes you a SOHO wannabe. Don't worry Natasha, development is slowly squeezing these people out as well as all the charm. Then you can move back into the Toy Factory Lofts or any of the other new condo projects slated for the area. I know many of my neighbors and there is a great sense of community here. This will probably be replaced with tons of cars and isolated living towers where no one talks to their neighbor. The amount of traffic in the area has tripled since the LCBO moved in. Despite the fantastic efforts of the BIA, the Village is slowly being converted to glass and BMW's. I only wonder how long it will be before they tear down my complex and replace it with a condo development.
Liberty Village is a crappy neighbourhood sandwiched between two sets of train tracks. I wouldn't want to live there.
I wanted to let everyone know that Marco has left Nice One Nails Salon (KONTROL) to start his own Salon, lets all support him in this new venture!
Marco is a great guy and a great stylist, so lets all make the effort to move our business to his new salon.
