New Toronto is a community in Toronto with a waterfront or lakeside dimension that helps distinguish it from more inland residential areas. Its identity is influenced by proximity to the water, shoreline parks, trails or nearby lake-oriented destinations. The amount of direct waterfront access varies by address, but the broader community benefits from a recreational and lifestyle character that distinguishes it from more inland areas. Across Toronto, neighbourhood character can change quickly between transit corridors, mature residential streets, parks and ravines, commercial main streets and major employment areas.
