I lived at Queen and Dovercourt for a few years. Not in Parkdale, but next door, so I spent a lot of time in Parkdale.
The area is very bustling, diverse, and offers a wide variety of amenities from hole in the wall dive bars to high end breweries. It's a great urban neighbourhood, even if it does have a lot of sketchy elements to it. It gets less and less sketchy every year as gentrification pressures are put on it as well - for better or for worse. It's a lot different today than when I lived nearby from 2014 to 2016.
