The city of Toronto assigns the Davisville Village into two official neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant West is situated West of Mount Pleasant Road, North of Merton Street, East of Yonge Street and South of Keewatin Ave. 91% of people in this neighbourhood live in low/high rise apartment and condo buildings, which makes it one of the most building-dominated neighbourhoods in Toronto (comparable to the high-rise dense downtown core).

In 2003 Minto proposed a plan for two high-rise condominium buildings on Yonge street, south of Eglinton avenue.
