Blake-Jones Real Estate
Blake-Jones is the name given to the area between Pape and Greenwood Avenues, south of the Danforth and north of Riverdale, which is also known as “The Pocket” due to its shape. The neighbourhood is home to a couple of small parkettes as well as the TTC Greenwood Yard, and has a quaint residential feel with a strong community spirit. The area is dotted with restaurants and grocery stores, has a strong Muslim community at the north end, where the 25,000-square-foot Madina Masjid mosque is also located. It’s serviced by the Bloor-Danforth subway line at its northern end, while buses connect the area north-south.
Varied Flavours
The area retains some of the Danforth’s Greek influence with restaurants like Athens, but there is a huge variety of eateries lining the northern border of the neighbourhood: The Greenwood Smokehouse is a popular barbecue joint that serves up craft beers to wash down succulent meat, and you’ll also find everything from Indian and Pakistani to Ethiopian fare.
