High Park 2006 real estate

With its rolling hills, winding streets and towering trees, High Park is one of Toronto's most beautiful neighbourhoods. The proximity to High Park, which is one of the largest and most popular parks in Toronto, as well as highly regarded schools, makes it a desirable location for families with children.

The area still contains many unrenovated dwellings and numerous rental properties, especially in the part north of Bloor. South of Bloor, in the area between Parkside Drive, Roncesvalles, Bloor and the Queensway, majority of homes are large and detached, and many of them have been renovated to a high standard.

Three condominium buildings on Quebec feature large balconies and generous size suites. New condo building at 70 High Park Avenue offers smaller, affordable units with balconies and high ceilings. Trendy new condo is being built on Gothic, and four loft buildings are located on Sunnyside by Marmaduke in a converted church, on St. Johns at Clendenan, on Gothic, and on Medland at Dundas.
