Malta Village Toronto Homes & Real Estate

The tiny Mediterranean island of Malta is among the world’s smallest countries, so it seems fitting that Malta Village is Toronto’s smallest neighbourhood.

Located in the Junction area, past Pacific on Dundas West, the focal point of Malta Village is a simple cobblestoned square, reminiscent of the neighbourhood piazzas found throughout Malta and Italy. In tiny Malta Park, discrete lighting and benches beneath mature shade trees form a friendly meeting place, and lend a European charm that harks back to the arrival of the first Maltese immigrants in the early 1920s.

The unmistakable Maltese Cross decorates many village businesses and the banners that can be seen on all sides. Stores and professional services cater to the Maltese community here, from specialty bakeries to travel agents, with the Church of St. Paul the Apostle forming the village’s single landmark.

Public transportation serves the neighbourhood well, enabling residents to commute readily to the downtown business, commercial and entertainment centres.

For the future, spurred by the city’s 2006 "orphan spaces" initiative, Malta Village has great potential for expansion and improvement—making it a good target neighborhood for investors and for home owners seeking a locale with a uniquely Mediterranean flavour.
