Toronto’s Farmer’s Markets

One of the best ways to get to know a city, either as a local or as a visitor passing through,  is to visit one of Toronto’s many neighbourhood Farmer’s Markets.  Each unique in its diversity of food, artisanal bakeries, arts and crafts and general well being, a visit to one of the local markets is a must do.  In addition to the larger, more popular venues such as the St. Lawrence, Evergreen Brickworks and Nathan Phillips Square, there are many small, intimate, neighbourhood and seasonal pop up markets for everyone to enjoy.  For a comprehensive list, click here

Day Tripping

With the warm weather on our doorstep, it’s time to explore the many beautiful parks and cityscapes that our city has to offer.  A great place to start is the Toronto Islands.  Haven’t been lately?  You’re not alone.  It’s surprising how many GTA residents overlook this gem of real estate when searching for a leisurely day away from the hot steaming sidewalks and air conditioned malls.  A short ferry ride will drop you at one of the islands’ ferry docks where you have your choice of activities from an amusement park to picnicking, bike riding, fine or casual dining and so much more.  It is an affordable stay-cation that is too often overlooked.  And while you may not be able to see the Hanlan’s Point  “Diving Horse” attraction any longer, there are endless possibilities of leisurely fun and activity just waiting for you to discover.  For more information click  here

Renovation vs. relocation

Unless you have been living in a cave for the past few months, you have undoubtedly been inundated with a barrage of information on the “crazy” Toronto housing market.  Real estate prices have increased in staggering proportions resulting in a virtually untouchable housing market for first time buyers as well as home owners looking to up-size.   While the government looks into ways of remedying the first-time home buyer crises, many current home owners are choosing renovation over relocation to give them the home of their dreams, at a price they can afford.

Check out this link to get an insiders perspective on why renovating is on the rise.  Then contact Grove to discuss why renovation could be right for you!
