Neighbourhoods

Determining which neighbourhood is the best fit for you might be a little more challenging than you think.

Toronto is known as the ‘City of Neighbourhoods’ for good reason – it has 140 officially recognized neighbourhoods and upwards of 100 more that are unofficially recognized. Each with its own distinctive character.

Deciding which neighbourhood is best for you will depend on what your priorities are. Some initial considerations before looking might include:

  • What type of home do you want?
  • Do you have children or plan to have children soon?
  • Do you want a historical home with character or a new development?
  • What type of community do you want?
  • Do you want to be able to walk to amenities?

A Toronto-Lifer, I’ve enjoyed living in many of our city’s neighbourhoods. I know the people, the schools, the history and how they’ve changed along the way. I would be thrilled to share some insight about the neighbourhoods in which I work and help you on the path to finding your perfect home.

 

Summerhill

The Summerhill neighbourhood is named after ‘Summer Hill’ house, a magnificent Regency cottage built in 1842, by transportation baron Charles Thompson.
