2174 Queen St E

The Beaches stretches along Toronto’s eastern Lake Ontario shoreline, with a long waterfront, sandy shore and a more relaxed pace than the downtown core. The boardwalk and sandy beach invite walks, cycling and time outdoors, while nearby parks add green space and places to pause. Queen Street East is the neighborhood’s main strip, lined with cafés, restaurants, independent shops and everyday services; the historic Fox Theatre adds a distinctive local arts and film landmark. Streetcar service along Queen connects the area with central Toronto, and cycling routes offer another way to get around. The lake moderates summer heat and brings brisk, changeable weather in colder months. For The Beaches, the median rent is $2,490 per month, with a typical range of $1,300 to $7,995.
