Regent Park Toronto Real Estate and Homes for Sale

Regent Park - Downtown

Located conveniently by the Don Valley Parkway, Regent Park is bounded by Gerrard Street on the North, Parliament Street on the West, Queen Street on the South, and River Street on the East and built in the 1950s as a housing project. The buildings aged and deteriorated, paving the way for demolishing and rebuilding Regent Park in 2000. The revitalization of Regent Park was funded by the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
