A funky and trendy neighborhood just West of little Italy, Hintonburg is still a developing neighbourhood. The area offers single-family homes, multi-units and condos. With many new storefronts and great restaurants, the area has brought in new condos and in-fills. Hintonburg is also very mixed in its character. The area has a mix of heritage buildings and recent additions.
This neighbourhood is home to the Parkdale Farmer's Market, just north of Wellington. Home to over 5 art galleries, many eclectic and cozy restaurants, there are also 2 public elementary schools, a public middle school, and a French catholic elementary school all within the hood’s boundaries.
Hintonburg is a highly walkable and bikeable area. A quick walk will get you most of what you need, if not a bike ride will suffice. Public transportation is also accessible to Hintonburg residents, getting them to every corner of the city quickly and efficiently.
EnRoute magazine has named Hintonburg one of the top ten emerging neighbourhoods in Canada. The Financial Times has also noted that the 'Burg is "thriving again".
