The Vibe
A beautiful and heavily sought after neighbourhood, once names for the wild roses that painted the grounds, is one of Toronto’s oldest and most affluent suburbs, Rosedale.
Once an estate owned solely by William Botsford Jarvis and family, it is now subdivided into large lots and stunning homes said to be inhabited by Canada’s ‘old money’.
The Homes
Imagine ravines and parklands, mature trees, and single family homes ranging in architectural style from Georgians, Victorians, Tudors and Edwardians that come with an average price tag of just under $1.7 million. For those looking to get into the neighbourhood without investing in a detached home, be advised that luxury condos and apartments can still be found for rental and ownership at surprisingly affordable rates.
Who Lives Here?
Schools both public and private and libraries alike are in no shortage here. Visit the prestigious Bishop Strachan School for girls or Upper Canada College for boys when looking for the ideal private school for your children.
What's There To Do?
Athletes and outdoorsmen can enjoy the many pools, rinks, fields, and courts available at Rosedale Park which is also home to the highly anticipated spring festival, Mayfair. Additional parks include Chorely Park, overlooking the Don Valley River, Beaumont Park, Craighleigh Gardens, Ramsden Park, and Winston Churchill Park to name but a few green spaces for you and your family to enjoy!
Shopping and entertainment are available in the many pockets close by including Summerhill, Yonge St and more! Be sure to check out The Rosedale Diner on Yonge St that has been serving local residents since 1978!
What About Commuting?
Commuters can take solace in the proximity to subway access at Rosedale, Summerhill and Castle Frank Stations. Buses run frequently and cars have a short jaunt to the Don Valley Parkway.
