Victoria Village
From Apple Orchards to Vibrant Community
⭐ Rich Heritage & History
Victoria Village began as prime Don Valley farmland dotted with family orchards and market gardens. The Heron family was among the best known, operating apple orchards that supplied much of the area.
As Toronto grew post-war, the farms gave way to a carefully planned neighbourhood of detached homes, tree-lined streets, and community amenities that still give the area its welcoming feel today.
⚡ Modern Transformation
What was once a quiet east-end suburb is now a diverse, connected community with revitalized retail, modern infill housing, upgraded parks, and recreation programs for all ages.
Townhomes and mixed-use nodes are replacing older strip plazas, while strong transit access keeps downtown commutes practical for professionals and families alike.
