Here, we've rounded up some of the best neighbourhoods in Toronto that would make a perfect choice for singles in the city.
Yonge & Eglinton
With the seemingly endless supply of bars, bistros, karaoke joints, and shops, Yonge and Eglinton is the place to be for singles. It's also a great place for young professionals thanks to the plethora of corporations and employment opportunities in the area. And, with the subway right there, the commute in and out of the neighbourhood is a cinch.
Despite being a hotspot, housing is still relatively affordable given the rising housing prices in the city. There's plenty of housing options to choose from too, including single family homes, townhouse complexes, and condos.
Liberty Village
Bustling at all times of the day and all days of the week, Liberty Village is the perfect place to live, work, and play. Plenty of bars and eateries fill the neighbourhood, offering residents and visitors a place to hang out and meet up every day.

Distillery District
One of the trendiest neighbourhoods in all of Toronto is the Distillery District. Known for its annual Christmas Market, art galleries, and unique eateries and bars, the historic and highly walkable community offers stunning architecture and is the hub of all sorts of fun things to see and do every day of the year.
Social scene aside, the Distillery District offers plenty of residential condominium complexes to choose from, many of which are reminiscent of the history of the area. Contemporary in style, these residences are perfect for the hipster singleton who appreciates good style at a decent price.
Church & Wellesley
The LGBTQ mecca of Toronto, Church and Wellesley is a colourful and vibrant area that's affectionately dubbed "The Village" among locals.

The neighbourhood is as welcoming as it gets, making it one of the most inviting areas in Toronto for singles who are new to the city.
