History & housing stock

Architectural era · Victorian and Queen Anne (~1880–1910)

The Annex was developed as a streetcar suburb in the 1880s by Simeon Janes on land annexed by the City of Toronto in 1887 — hence the name. Its housing stock is a nearly intact catalog of late-Victorian and Queen Anne Revival single-family homes, many of which have been converted to boutique multi-unit rentals since the 1970s. Home to Massey College and adjacent to the University of Toronto St. George campus, the neighborhood has a strong academic + creative-class identity.

Who buys here

University families, dual-income creative-class professionals, and long-tenured owner-occupiers. Investor activity is muted vs. Liberty Village — most transactions are end-user.
