Areas to avoid:
Dundas & Jarvis
Dundas and Jarvis is a busy downtown intersection located just steps from Seaton House, Canada’s largest homeless shelter. As a result, the area sees a high volume of panhandling, loitering, and street-level disturbances, especially during the day. Many people unfamiliar with Toronto may be drawn to the newer condos in the area due to lower rent, but safety concerns — particularly at night — are a common issue. The constant presence of vulnerable individuals, some struggling with addiction or mental health challenges, gives the area a rough and transient feel.
Moss Park
Moss Park has long been known for high crime rates, visible drug use, and deteriorating public housing. While there are efforts to revitalize the area, its reputation remains tied to open drug activity and frequent police or paramedic presence. The park itself often becomes a gathering spot for at-risk populations, and the streets surrounding it can feel unsafe, especially at night. The combination of underfunded infrastructure and ongoing social challenges makes it one of the more problematic areas in downtown Toronto.
Regent Park
Regent Park is undergoing major redevelopment, with modern condos and community spaces replacing outdated public housing. However, the transformation is still uneven, and parts of the neighbourhood continue to face social and economic challenges. There remains a stark divide between the new developments and the remaining low-income housing, which can create a feeling of disconnection. While crime has decreased compared to its past, safety concerns and a lack of vibrant retail or nightlife still affect the overall livability of the area.
Sherbourne & Wellesley
Sherbourne and Wellesley is another area with a high concentration of shelters and supportive housing, leading to visible homelessness and street-level drug use. The sidewalks are often occupied by people in crisis, and it’s not uncommon to witness erratic behavior or aggressive panhandling. Many residents report feeling unsafe walking through this intersection, especially in the evening, despite its proximity to public transit and downtown amenities.
Allan Gardens
Allan Gardens is a historic park and conservatory in downtown Toronto, known for its beautiful greenhouses — but in recent years, it has also become a hotspot for homelessness and encampments. Due to its central location and open space, the park attracts many vulnerable individuals, including those living rough or in tents. While it remains a public space, ongoing issues with safety, drug use, and aggressive behaviour have made it less welcoming for families and casual visitors. The city has attempted to clear encampments in the past, but many return shortly after, making it a persistent concern for nearby residents and condo dwellers.
Good guide thanks. some of the areas are very sketchy (jarvis and dundas) 😐
