One block west of Bronson Avenue and north of the Queensway is a street named after Cambridge University in England — Cambridge Street North.
Cambridge Street North is divided into two sections. Beginning at the intersection of Cambridge and Raymond streets the homes here are rather modern. Stucco is more common than brick.
Bikes are a prominent feature, attached to poles in front of apartment buildings or lounging on front porches of the homes. Street parking is plentiful but seems hardly used.
A massive eight-story apartment building resides on the western side of the street, shading the homes opposite it.
The end of the southern section of Cambridge Street North is punctuated with a canary-yellow building on Gladstone, across the street from Cambridge Street Public school.
The northern section begins at Gladstone and has more old-world charm to it.
The well-maintained brick exterior of the homes and the plentiful trees in this section of Cambridge give the illusion of the Victorian period. It is easy to imagine horse-drawn carriages and dirt roads instead of the modern asphalt and cars. The trees here provide abundant green shade from the sun.
Further down the street and closer to Laurier is Saint-Vincent Hospital, a place for continuing care and founded in 1932 by the Grey Nuns of the Cross. Cambridge Street North runs along the front of the hospital and ends at Laurier Avenue.
