Delta
The neighbourhood around Ottawa Street and the Delta — mature, tree-lined streets, strong amenities and transit, and a steady pull for young families. One of the East End's most-searched areas.
The lay of the land
Delta takes its name from the five-points junction where Main Street East and King Street East meet — a distinct East-End pocket alongside Crown Point and the Ottawa Street district. It's known for established, tree-lined residential streets and easy access to shops, transit and amenities.
Like its Crown Point neighbour, Delta has drawn a wave of young families looking for character and relative value within the lower city. People searching 'Delta East' and 'Delta West' are usually orienting around that central junction.
