Bloor street begins at the eastern edge of the Prince Edward Viaduct, which passes over the ravine holding the Don River.
The street continues through to the Rosedale Ravine, marking the southern border of the affluent community of Rosedale.
West of Parliament Street, the street passes just to the north of the large St. James Town housing project, which stretches west to Sherbourne Street.
On the northern side of this section of Bloor are the forested slopes of the Rosedale Ravine.
Between Sherbourne and Church Streets the street is lined by large office towers, mostly home to insurance companies.
This area has long been the centre of the insurance industry in Canada.

West of Church the street becomes more commercial and is an important shopping district.
In downtown, especially around the intersection with Bay Street, Bloor is one of the most exclusive stretches of real estate in Canada.
Rents on the upscale Bloor Street have doubled in 4 years, ranking as the 22nd most expensive retail location in the world in 2006, up two spots from 2005.
Nationally, Vancouver's upscale Robson Street tied with Bloor Street West as the most expensive street in Canada, with an annual average rental price of $208 per square foot.

Under the intersection of Yonge and Bloor Streets is the Bloor–Yonge subway station, which is the busiest in the city, serving approximately 368,800 people a day.
Above ground, the intersection encompasses commercial stores and condominiums.

In the downtown, Bloor Street serves as the northern edge of the University of Toronto campus, and is host to several historic sites, including the Bata Shoe Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the southern edge of Yorkville, in an area now known as the Bloor Street Culture Corridor.

West of the university, which ends at Spadina Avenue, Bloor Street runs through a diverse series of neighbourhoods such as The Annex, Koreatown, Dufferin Grove, Brockton, Roncesvalles, High Park and Runnymede.
It generally retains its commercial character, and serves as the main shopping area for most of these communities.
Numerous sections of the street have named 'business improvement areas' such as Bloorcourt Village, Bloordale Village and Bloor West Village.

In Toronto's west end, Bloor Street crisscrosses Dundas Street twice, between Lansdowne Avenue and Keele Street and again in the "Six Points" area of Islington–City Centre West near Kipling Avenue.
Markland Wood is the westernmost residential community in the city of Toronto.
Through Mississauga, Bloor Street runs through the residential neighbourhoods of Rockwood Village, Applewood Hills, and Applewood Heights, terminating at Central Parkway, about one kilometre east of Hurontario Street.

Until 1998, Bloor Street was designated as Highway 5 from Kipling Avenue east to the Don River.
Like many urban stretches of provincial roadway, it was formally decommissioned as a connecting link on January 1.

Construction began in 2019 by the City of Toronto to reconfigure the interchange at Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street into an at-grade intersection.
