How to stay on top of what’s new on the market
Toronto’s Real Estate Districts
As your Realtor®, Jamie will find out from you where you are interested in living. If you’re new to Toronto or not sure what neighbourhoods are desirable – in short, if you have no idea where you would like to live – Jamie will make valuable suggestions based on your needs now, and in the future. For instance, if you are looking for a carriage trade home, the Rosedale neighbourhood may be perfect for you. If you prefer to live within walking distance of the financial district, perhaps a spacious condo in the thriving St. Lawrence Market area would work well for you.

Simplified MLS Search
The city used to be divided into districts that only real estate professionals understood and used. Every neighbourhood used to fall within a certain district, and the districts defined the property listings for sale that Jamie would find and send you on a daily basis.
Because the districts were arbitrary and often overlapped municipalities and/or split neighbourhoods, the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) introduced a new zoning system that allows both Jamie and you to search the MLS by municipalities and neighbourhood names as referred to by the respective communities. To learn more details about this change, please read our article on the New Zoning in Toronto MLS.
Today, specific neighbourhoods can be searched with ease and Jamie can send you even better daily listings to inform you about properties which you might be interested in. Of course, the listings will also match your other search criteria (like price point, number of bedrooms, etc.) but most importantly, they will be in the right location for you.
Whether you want to look in a broad range of districts (for example, anywhere on the Bloor/Danforth subway line) or just one neighbourhood (Liberty Village) Jamie has access to filtering tools, radius and grid searches that ensure you never miss a listing that may be relevant. Jamie also tries hard to remove any clutter that you are definitely not interested in.
Properties that come on the market will be emailed to your inbox each day, pre-filtered to match your requirements, so you can see exactly what the market has to offer, and be ready to pounce on great opportunities.
Toronto Map & District Codes
Wondering more about those districts? The Toronto Real Estate Board now offers a new, updated interactive map of Toronto that you can use to define where you would like to buy your next home. Use this map to prepare for your meeting with Jamie, so that you can share with him the exact locations of your interest in a matter of minutes.
The City of Toronto itself is divided into a grid with four main groups of districts: North, Central, East and West. This is further subdivided into numbered districts with main streets as boundaries. This a remnant of the old numbering system which was maintained in order to facilitate searching among the many neighbourhoods of this giant municipality.
Jamie has gone a step further to demystify what those TREB district codes actually mean in terms of neighbourhoods – so you can see which popular neighbourhood pockets and communities are actually contained within each district:
