[edit] Northern border

What's the northern border of the neighbourhood? Howard St or Bloor St?--Sonjaaa 12:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I think Howard St. The corner of Bloor and Sherbourne is dominated by upper middle class condos, an unlikely part of St. Jamestown.


Is every part of the city part of a neighbourhood? If so, I believe the Northern border of St. James Town would be Bloor. If you walk along this small area I believe it has more in common with St. James Town then Rosedale (it's northern neighbour).

I'm not sure what middle class condos the above poster refers to. Howard-Bloor Parliament-Sherbourne consists of approximately: 1 modern office tower, 1 low rise office building, 2 churches, a number of abandoned houses, and maybe 5 low rise apartment buildings/converted houses.

The City of Toronto depicts St. James Town as being bordered by Bloor to the North... though it also shows Jarvis as being the Western border. http://www.toronto.ca/demographics/cns_profiles/cns74.htm

[edit] Highest crime rate?

I lived in St Jamestown - albeit for 6 months - and never had a problem. Sure it was kind of divey but I never felt in danger, even when walking home after midnight. I hear a lot more about Malvern and Jane & Finch than this neighbourhood. Anyone have the stats? - McKell

[edit] St. Jamestown

It's pretty safe in Cabbagetown-South St.Jamestown, but it gets much worse in North St.Jamestown.
