Greenwood-Coxwell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greenwood-Coxwell is a neighbourhood on the lower East side of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The neighbourhood, as defined by the city of Toronto, is bounded by Coxwell Ave to the East and Greenwood Ave to the West. To the North it is roughly bounded by Danforth (and north to Milverton Blvd) and to the South it's boundaries slip just south of Queen Street to Eastern Ave.

The area is popular among Chinese living in the city, who comprise over 25% of the population in the area. Immigration to this area is actually lower than the average, making the Chinese the dominant visible minority in the area.

Larger and older buildings in the area have started to make way and more semi-detached and detached homes are being constructed in the neighbourhood.

While there is still a sizeable low income contingency in the neighbourhood, the area is similarly seeing a large growth in higher income earners, a trend that appears to be unphased according to the latest census data.
