Yorkville

The name has long been synonymous with the young and moneyed and celebrity sightings. From galleries to fine dining to 4-star hotels, it’s strictly upper echelon in this scenic midtown locale. Yorkville’ ‘mink mile’ is home to Toronto’s most famous stretch of designer shops like Hermes, Gucci, as well as home-grown designers like Jeremy Lang and Izzy Camilleri. You’ll see no shortage of valet parking and luxury cars throughout this hood!

Gaining notoriety as a hippie village in the 1960’s, Yorkville was once known as the bohemian centre of the city, and home to celebrities like Joni Mitchell and Margaret Atwood. Massive development throughout the 80’s and 90’s took this area in a distinctly different direction, developing it into an upscale urban mecca.

Home to some of Toronto’s most popular luxury condos, you’ll find many young singles or successful professional couples mixed in amongst empty-nesters looking to downsize.

High-end dining and designer shopping at your doorstep. Steps to the TTC. Wonderful cobblestone walking areas with well-manicured gardens.

While there are great schools (albeit mostly private) within relative proximity in areas such as Rosedale, the majority of Yorkville residents are singles or couples without kids.
