Sorauren Park itself is a much-loved community hub for families, especially for the farmers’ market which is held outside from May-October and moves inside to the Fieldhouse in the colder months. You’ll not only find local goods and produce here, but also entertainment and activities for kids.

Some of the houses have been subdivided into apartments by investment buyers. You’ll notice a few newer condo developments in the neighbourhood, including Howard Park and The Roncy, as well as beautiful loft conversions such as the Robert Watson Lofts building.
