Why Bartley Towns Is One of the Best Places to Live Near the Eglinton LRT
Big changes are coming to Toronto’s east end – and they’re arriving right at Bartley Towns’ doorstep.
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT, one of the city’s largest transit infrastructure projects in decades, is nearing completion. With service planned to begin as early as September 2025, this 19-kilometre rapid transit line will stretch from Kennedy in the east to Mount Dennis in the west, offering 25 new stations and a faster, more reliable way to move across the city.
For future residents of Bartley Towns, this means exceptional access to the best of Toronto – without the traffic. Located just minutes from the Don Valley Parkway and a short 14-minute walk from the Sloane Station on the new LRT line, Bartley Towns offers a rare combination of urban convenience, smart design, and modern style in a family-friendly neighbourhood.
Faster Commutes, Greater Convenience
Whether you’re commuting downtown for work, heading to class, or meeting friends across the city, the LRT makes getting there quicker and easier. The Crosstown LRT will run in a dedicated lane separate from traffic, which means no more sitting in gridlock or waiting endlessly for a delayed bus. In fact, travel times are expected to improve by up to 60% compared to current bus service along Eglinton Avenue.
For Bartley Towns residents, the LRT will connect you directly to the TTC subway system and multiple GO lines. Whether you’re heading to the Financial District, the University of Toronto, or the city’s west end, seamless transit connections are right outside your door.
A More Connected Neighbourhood
The arrival of the LRT is also bringing new energy and growth to the surrounding area. Improved transit access often sparks neighbourhood growth, attracting new businesses, schools, and services that help to create a more walkable, vibrant community. From shopping and dining to parks and recreation, Bartley Townhome residents will find more and more of what they need close to home.
And thanks to the LRT’s efficient service, you’ll spend less time commuting and more time enjoying what matters – whether that’s dinner with the family, an after-school activity, or a weekend adventure.
Long-Term Value for Homeowners
It’s also good to remember that buying a home near reliable, high-frequency transit isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade – it’s a smart investment. Studies consistently show that properties near new transit lines tend to appreciate in value over time, as demand grows for homes in well-connected neighbourhoods.
At Bartley Towns, you’re not only getting a beautifully designed modern townhome, but also a location with built-in long-term value. With the DVP, Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and numerous amenities just minutes away, this is a place where families can put down roots and thrive for years to come.

Nestled in a quiet pocket just off Eglinton Avenue East, the community offers elegant, spacious townhomes that are perfect for growing families, professionals, and anyone looking to live close to it all – without the downtown price tag.

Located at 100 Bond Street, just off of Yonge-Dundas Square and along the southern edge of Ryerson University’s campus, this beautiful property is centrally-located in Toronto’s Garden District, just steps away from some of downtown Toronto’s best attractions.
Let’s take a closer look at this incredible location and all of the amenities nearby, from world-renowned universities and first-class restaurants to some of the city’s best concert venues and entertainment options.
Could this be the neighbourhood of your next dream home?
Getting to Know the Garden District
Downtown Toronto’s Garden District was so named by the Toronto East Downtown Residents Association (now called the Garden District Residents Association) in recognition of Allan Gardens, an indoor botanical garden located nearby at the intersection of Carlton and Jarvis Streets. The Garden District neighbourhood is bordered by Carlton Street to the north, Yonge Street to the west, Sherbourne Street to the east, and Queen Street to the south.
This neighbourhood is incredibly vibrant, and is filled with both historic buildings – including gorgeous old Victorian homes and heritage sites including the Mackenzie House Museum, the stunning Gallery Arcturus art gallery and museum, and the Merchandise Building – and modern amenities and entertainment. It’s a very walkable neighbourhood and when it comes to downtown Toronto, it doesn’t get more central than this!
A Trendy Neighbourhood You’ll Love to Call Home
100 Bond St. is just minutes away from all that Toronto has to offer – from incredible schools and boutique shops to world-class restaurants and top-notch entertainment.

It also includes the beautiful Ryerson Community Park, with its famous ice skating rink.
Stroll two blocks west and you’ll find yourself at Yonge-Dundas Square, a one-acre outdoor hub for live entertainment and the unofficial epicenter of Toronto’s downtown core. Our version of Times Square in New York City, Yonge-Dundas Square attracts visitors from across the Greater Toronto Area and around the world. You’ll love the vibrant energy that the Square offers! Living so close, you’ll have front row tickets to the wide range of activities taking place at the Square, from community celebrations and theatrical events to concerts, receptions, and promotions – events that appeal to residents and tourists alike – especially as COVID restrictions continue to ease up in the City of Toronto.
Live at the Centre of It All
This neighbourhood is also home to many boutique shops, beautiful street art, and top-rated restaurants as well as local favourites such as Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, which is just a block away from 100 Bond St.
Downtown Toronto and the Garden District are also the place to be if you enjoy live music, theatre, art and culture, and other forms of entertainment. The internationally-famous Massey Hall, Toronto’s best performing arts theatre and concert venue, is just a 5-minute walk away from 100 Bond St., and attracts many of the world’s leading celebrities, artists, and musicians. Other nearby entertainment venues include the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres for those who love a night out at the theatre, the Ed Mirvish Theatre (formerly Pantages Theatre and then the Canon Theatre) for some of the best musicals, dramas, and comedies on stage in Toronto, and Maple Leaf Gardens for the hockey fans.
Walk, Bike, and Get Around the City with Ease
