Wallace Emerson is a neighbourhood in Toronto, situated north of Bloor Street between Dufferin Street to the east, the CPR railway lines to the north and the CPR railway lines to the west.
Character
The neighbourhood contains a mixture of land-uses. The main thoroughfare of Bloor Street consists almost exclusively of both residential and commercial buildings. The Bloordale Village Business Investment Area encompasses the stretch from Lansdowne to Dufferin.
The residential area north of Bloor Street is primarily single-family dwellings. Many of these structures have been converted into apartments, housing up to eight separate units. Side-streets increase in zoned density as they approach Bloor. Low and medium-rise apartments occupy the majority of these zones.
To the north, between Dupont and Davenport, is mainly post-industrial development. Limited manufacturing remains, although some warehouse and light automotive industries still exist. While the Canadian Pacific Railway operates a main line between the two thoroughfares, a large amount of former industrial space has been converted to loft condominiums. Some single-family rowhouses and low-income rental space has also been created.
Schools
Pauline Public School is a public elementary school on Pauline Avenue, north-west of Bloor and Dufferin.
