About Lawrence Park

The exclusive Lawrence Park neighbourhood lies in North Toronto, nearly hidden from the outside world by lush greenery and ravines. Still, it is close to every convenience and amenity you could ever want. As one of Toronto’s first garden suburbs, Lawrence Park is bordered by Lawrence Avenue to the north, Bayview Avenue to the east, and Yonge Street to the west. Blythwood Ravine lies to the south and gives the neighbourhood its serene countryside feel. Though the area did not fully develop until after World War 2, it quickly became one of Toronto’s most sought-after communities. In 2011, Lawrence Park was ranked as the wealthiest neighbourhood in Canada by postal code.

One of the best features is the artistic blend of classic architectural styles and modern contemporary designs. Heritage homes such as English Cottages, Colonials, and Tudor Revivals are scattered on large lots along the quiet, tree-lined streets.

Who Lives Here

Some of Toronto’s wealthiest families and socialites reside in Lawrence Park, and many have lived here since childhood. Some of the most famous residents have included actress Alexandra Beaton, astronaut Roberta Bondar, and Toronto mayor John Tory. Lawrence Park is an extremely family-oriented community, with many homes passed down to the next generation.

What's Great About It?

With such beautiful greenery, owning a home here feels more akin to living in a park rather than in a residential neighbourhood in a busy city. Lawrence Park is characterized by gentle hills, multiple parks, and the stunning Blythwood Ravine. And yet, a few steps away, you’re amidst the excitement and fantastic dining and shopping experiences along Avenue Road and Yonge Street. Perhaps even better than the natural beauty of the neighbourhood is the sense of community it provides. It’s a place where your neighbours know your name, and everyone comes together like an extended family.

Schools

Like you would expect from such a family-friendly community, Lawrence Park offers access to some of Toronto’s best private and public schools. Examples include John Ross Robertson Junior Elementary School, Toronto French School, and Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute.
