About Jane and Finch
Where to stay in Jane and Finch
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The area runs on transit, not hotels. Most guests base themselves along the York University edge and ride in, since the campus corridor near the Tait McKenzie Centre keeps buses and the subway close while the market plazas around Jane Street sit a short hop away. Choose by your errand.
Rooms cluster where the university meets the neighbourhood, and the Black Creek and Glenfield-Jane Heights halves each reward a different night's walk.
About Jane and Finch
What are the main landmarks in Jane and Finch?
The York University campus anchors the sights. Sobeys Stadium hosts tennis on the grounds, while the Toronto Track and Field Centre and the Tait McKenzie Centre draw athletes and the Canlan Ice Sports, York rinks keep skaters busy through the season. The Art Gallery of York University shows contemporary work nearby.
East along Black Creek, the open-air Black Creek Pioneer Village preserves the James Dalziel Home, the John Dalziel House, and Sawyer's House among its restored buildings. History sits beside sport here.
What is the history of Jane and Finch?
Before the houses, these acres were farmed. The Dalziel family worked the land along Black Creek before the city reached this far, and their homestead survives as the James Dalziel Home and the John Dalziel House inside Black Creek Pioneer Village, where the restored Sawyer's House stands among the transplanted period buildings. Fields gave way to subdivisions.
The Jane Street and Finch Avenue West crossing grew into the name locals now use for the whole stretch of North York around it.
Where is Jane and Finch?
Jane and Finch fills the northwest corner of North York, bounded by Highway 400 to the west, Black Creek to the east, Sheppard Avenue to the south, and Steeles Avenue to the north. The creek edges it east.
