Part of Moss Park · Toronto Neighbourhood Guide
Corktown
Corktown is the historic pocket along King Street East where heritage homes and newer mid-rise buildings sit between the Distillery District and Corktown Common park. It is part of the City of Toronto's official Moss Park neighbourhood, though it has long carried its own name and its 19th-century roots. This is a place where character and density meet, which makes it a considered place to build, renovate, or own.
