Located in Toronto’s west end, Baby Point offers the amenities and conveniences of Bloor West Village and High Park while enjoying a secluded natural paradise. The streets are quiet and safe, making this an excellent choice for affluent families and retirees who still want to be close to the action. 

The homes here are more spacious than most neighbourhoods in Toronto, and the streets are lined with trees and greenery, which lends an air of peacefulness you don’t often find in a bustling city. Baby Point is surrounded by parks and ravines, and many of its beautiful homes back right onto the Humber River Valley.

Housing styles in Baby Point include beautiful Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian and are some of the largest, most spacious residences you’ll find in the west end. Even though most homes were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, they have been meticulously maintained. The architectural beauty and attention to detail will take your breath away!

Housing prices in Baby Point tend to be higher than Toronto’s average, making them accessible to wealthier families and professionals. Residents are primarily married couples with above-average household incomes. However, you will also find some younger professionals and retirees who enjoy an affluent yet peaceful lifestyle.

Baby Point is a beautiful neighbourhood for fitness enthusiasts and anyone who loves being outdoors. A private club for residents offers two tennis courts and other social activities throughout the year. Picturesque scenery makes the hiking and cycling trails of nearby Etienne Park a popular attraction.

With so much luscious greenery surrounding you, it’s hard to believe that almost everything you need is within easy walking distance. Boutique shops, restaurants, theatres, and public transit are just minutes away.

As one of Toronto’s most family-friendly communities, you won’t have to go far to find access to top-notch education. Baby Point offers plenty of options, including public, private, and Montessori schools nearby. Some highly-rated institutions include Swansea Junior and Senior Public School, High Park Alternative Junior School, and Runnymede Collegiate Institute.

Welcome to one of Toronto’s most prestigious and wealthy neighbourhoods! “Pure luxury” is the best way to describe The Bridle Path, which is why the area is also known as “Millionaire’s Row.” The streets are adorned with lavish, multi-million dollar mansions. No expense has been spared in developing one of the most opulent and extravagant communities in Southern Ontario.
Today, everything about the Bridle Path exudes elegance and splendour. Still, you may be surprised to know that the area was once farmland as far as the eye could see. It wasn’t considered for residential expansion until Toronto developer, Forsey Page, created his vision. Soon afterwards, the first Cape Cod Colonial Style mansion was built. Since then, the Bridle Path has become known as one of the most luxurious neighbourhoods in Toronto, with superstars Drake and Prince among the celebrities who have made their home here.
Interesting fact: The Bridle Path was used to film a scene in the movie “Mean Girls” for Regina George’s house.

Nothing is quiet or understated about The Bridle Path, which is why some of the wealthiest and most prominent people in Toronto make their home here. Residents include business people, financiers, doctors, engineers, and even movie and music stars. Media mogul Moses Znaimer once owned an estate in The Bridle Path, as did computer entrepreneur Robert Herjavec.

Every aspect of The Bridle Path caters to those who appreciate and can afford the finest things in life. It’s a place where no two houses look the same, with stunning styles ranging from ornate French Chateaus, spacious Georgians, and multi-storey Italianate homes. Most residences were built in the mid-1900s, but you will also find a few modern architectural wonders. Generous lot sizes range from 1 to 6 acres, allowing you to create a luxury resort-like feel right in your backyard.

The Bridle Path offers the best of everything, and the schools are no exception. This includes high-quality private schools like Crescent School, a leading educational facility for boys from grades 3 to 12 and Crestwood School, which places a healthy emphasis on critical thinking and analysis. In addition, you can find facilities offering French instruction, as well as various public schools nearby.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Danforth, also known as East Danforth and Danforth Village, is a well-known and well-loved community in Toronto’s east end. Located along Danforth Avenue (the extension of Bloor Street that runs east of the Don Valley Parkway), this bustling neighbourhood is full of life and culture year-round.

The Danforth is perhaps best known for its collection of shops, restaurants, and nightlife hotspots along Danforth Avenue. It’s also one of the largest Greek neighbourhoods in North America! Residents and visitors can expect to find authentic Greek cuisine right on their doorsteps, along with a superb collection of local grocers, fruit stands, cafes, and restaurants along the Danforth strip.

When it comes to local homes, there’s a very diverse range of styles, sizes, and locations. Go north of Danforth Avenue and you’ll find some of the more traditional detached and semi-detached homes in the Victorian and Edwardian styles. Go south, and you’ll find more of a mix—including a selection of newer builds, bungalows, condo buildings, and apartments.

From singles to young couples to large families, there’s space for everyone in the Danforth. Thanks to the diverse range of homes available to buy and rent, anyone can find the perfectly-sized place here.

One of the best parts about The Danforth is how multicultural the neighbourhood is. The community is home to local residents from all over the world, which contributes to its warm and welcoming feel—along with its fantastic food and culture.

One can’t-miss local event is the annual “Taste of the Danforth” street festival, where thousands of local vendors and millions of visitors take over the avenue for a multi-day celebration of cuisine and culture. This summertime festival is one of Toronto’s most popular food-related events.

The Danforth is also very close to public transit, as Danforth Avenue contains several easily-accessible subway stations. These include Broadview, Chester, Pape, Donlands, Greenwood, Coxwell, Woodbine, and Main Street Stations. Additionally, regular bus routes serve the area.

Another huge perk of living in the Danforth is its selection of schools. Some of its most popular options include Secord Elementary School and Gledhill Public School, which welcome students from kindergarten through grade 6.

Additionally, Earl Haig Public School, George Webster Public School, Earl Beatty Public School, and St. Brigid Catholic School all welcome students from k-8.

Situated along the lakeshore in Toronto’s far east end, the Beaches is named for its proximity to a collection of sandy beaches along Lake Ontario.

The Beaches is bordered by the lake to the south, and it contains extensive public parks and green spaces—all of which makes it a very outdoor-oriented community. Locals and visitors from across Toronto love to visit in the warmer months, when the area’s natural beauty is out in full force.

The friendly, laid-back vibes provided by the Beaches make it a very alluring place for many. With little crime and lots of fantastic public schools, it’s also a great neighbourhood for families.

Here you’ll find plenty of older detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian homes, which usually contain a generous amount of square footage. More unique to the community is the large number of original frame cottage-style beach houses, which were constructed around the early 20th century.

Naturally, the Beaches is a neighbourhood that appeals to many, which is why there’s a great diversity of residents here. Between young professionals who enjoy the appealing Queen Street East community to large families who value the quieter residential streets, you can find just about everyone in this charming east-end neighbourhood.

Without a doubt, one of the most appealing things about living in the area is how close it is to four public beaches. These include Balmy Beach, Scarboro Beach, Kew Beach, and Woodbine Beach—all of which are connected to form one large continuous beachfront featuring a 3-kilometre long boardwalk.

There’s also a fabulous strip of independent stores, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes along Queen Street East. These conveniences give the quaint little beach-side community a distinctly small-town feel in the big city.

The expansive park system within the Beaches is also very appealing. Green spaces like Woodbine Park, Ashbridges Bay, Woodbine Beach Park, Beaches Park, Balmy Beach Park, and Glen Stewart Park all have their own unique features and feel.

Some of the area’s most popular elementary schools include:

• Williamson Road Junior School
• Kew Beach Montessori School
• Kew Beach Junior Public School
• Avalon Children’s Montessori School

For older kids, Glen Ames Senior Public School, Neil McNeil Catholic Secondary School, and Malvern Collegiate Institute are all popular choices.

Encapsulating two of Toronto’s most historic waterfront neighbourhoods—the Distillery District and the Esplanade—Downtown East is one of the most exciting places to be in Toronto. The Esplanade is primarily residential, while the Distillery District contains both commercial shopping areas and offices (as well as some private residences).

Both parts of the lakeside Downtown East neighbourhood were originally constructed in the mid 1800s. They’re known for their beautiful heritage features, which showcase the best that the time period has to offer. Expect cobblestone streets, repurposed industrial-era buildings, and remnants of early Toronto railway and shipping lines.

From this waterfront community’s 19th-century blue-collar beginnings to the shopping and residential hub it is today, Downtown East has always been a bustling part of Toronto’s eastern lakeshore.

While this fascinating part of Toronto would appeal to almost anyone, the neighbourhood’s tight and condensed layout means there are few homes large enough to accommodate growing families.

What you will find is many modern condo buildings and redeveloped industrial-era lofts, which are ideal for singles and young couples. Those who want to enjoy the liveliness and historic beauty of the Distillery District can expect to pay a premium.

Since its redevelopment into a pedestrian-friendly commercial and residential area in 2001, the Distillery District has remained one of the most popular shopping and tourist destinations in the city.

Surrounded by iconic Toronto landmarks (namely the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, founded in 1832), this neighbourhood offers one of the most unique shopping atmospheres around.

With everything from high-end furniture stores and trendy restaurants to independent cafes and fun boutiques, there’s no shortage of things to see and do in the district. Not only that, but the area’s extremely popular Christmas Market (where live entertainment, incredible food, and artisanal goods converge) is a city-wide favourite.

Downtown East is also very close to major intersections, highways, and public transit. With the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard at your doorstep, it’s quick and convenient to get where you need to go.

Market Lane Junior and Senior Public School welcomes students in junior kindergarten through grade 8, while the Downtown Alternative School services students from kindergarten to grade 6.

St Michael’s Catholic School is another great option for elementary students, providing faith-based learning for children from k-8.

As its name suggests, this midtown neighbourhood is located at the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue.

Yonge & Eglinton has seen rapid development and redevelopment in recent years, with ongoing and upcoming projects forecasted to be completed in the near future. Compared to just a few short years ago, the neighbourhood’s more commercial areas have been transformed. While construction is still underway, the community is still a major business and entertainment hub.

The local real estate market is mostly dominated by high-rise buildings, but there are a few highly-coveted pockets of single family homes to be found.

Due to its large number of condo and apartment buildings, there are many singles and young couples in the Yonge & Eglinton area. Having said that, the community can be very family-friendly.

Just a short walk from Yonge and Eglinton’s busy intersection, you’ll find an abundance of tree-lined residential streets offering large detached and semi-detached homes. With a number of popular schools in the neighbourhood, these older living spaces are highly sought-after by families with children.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Yonge and Eglinton has everything. From great restaurants, cozy cafes, large box stores, boutique shops, and grocers of all kinds, everything is within arm’s reach for residents.

With two movie theatres and one of Toronto’s largest multi-level malls nearby, there’s no shortage of action at the neighbourhood’s core. Fortunately, residents who live here also have easy access to nature, with plenty of public parks and green spaces in close proximity.

Eglinton Park is just a short walk away from the neighbourhood’s main intersection—while Oriole Park, June Rowlands Park, and a section of Toronto’s Beltline Trail are all within walking distance.

One of the best features of this buzz-worthy Toronto neighbourhood is the vast selection of schools it contains. For elementary-school children, John Fisher Junior Public School is one of the most well-known French Immersion options. Alternatively, Eglinton Junior Public School is an ever-popular choice.

At the high-school level, North Toronto Collegiate Institute has historically scored high in terms of academics and rankings, while Northern Secondary School is thriving in terms of academics—along with sports and arts programs.
