Cabbagetown-South St. Jamestown

Cabbagetown was named after the many Irish residents that moved to the area in the 1840s. Most residents at this time grew cabbage in their front yards, which later became the way the neighbourhood was named. As the 1970s approached, several affluent professionals moved to the neighbourhood, and Cabbagetown became a home for many artists, musicians, journalists, writers, and other creatives.

If you are interested in moving to Cabbagetown-South St. James Town and want to know more about the neighbourhood’s history, there is a published novel by Canadian Author Hugh Garner called Cabbagetown, which depicts life in the area during the Great Depression.

Cabbagetown-South St. Jamestown Real Estate

You can split Cabbagetown-South St. James Town into two sections for better understanding. Cabbagetown primarily comprises Victorian homes that were restored to their original beauty back in the 1970s and 1980s. Many gardens surround the homes for sale in Cabbagetown, creating a truly unique environment in comparison to the rest of Toronto.

The southern portion of St. James Town is the other section of this neighbourhood, and it’s where you’ll find luxury high-rise condos. Almost 50% of people in the neighbourhood rent, which means this is a top spot for investment properties. The average cost of a condo in South St. James Town is around $875,000.

The individual beauty of the houses mixed with the ample amount of green spaces in the neighbourhood makes it a hot spot for buying real estate, with homes only staying on the market for 8 days on average. The average home price in Cabbagetown-South St. James Town is $1,872,000, but prepare to offer a bit more since 60% of homes here sell above listing price.
