About this Neighborhood

Allendale keeps things low-key and green, with seven parks giving the neighbourhood plenty of room to roam. Its 17 restaurants earn a 4.5 Yelp average, and the Foursquare crowd leans toward hotpot, Chinese and Malay kitchens — a quietly global lineup for a residential quarter. The everyday layer is modest but complete: three grocers, a lone but well-regarded coffee bar, a court, a gym and a skating rink for the colder months. It's a settle-in-and-stay kind of neighbourhood.
