North Toronto

Midtown's Prestigious Residential Address

About North Toronto

North Toronto is a broad, affluent residential area stretching along the Yonge Street corridor roughly between Eglinton Avenue and Lawrence Avenue, encompassing some of the city's most desirable streets. The neighbourhood is anchored by the bustling Yonge-Eglinton intersection, Toronto's unofficial midtown downtown, where office towers, shopping, restaurants, and nightlife create an urban energy rivalling the city centre. Beyond the Eglinton buzz, North Toronto's residential streets are a showcase of Toronto at its best: wide lots, stately homes ranging from early 20th-century Georgian and Tudor styles to tasteful contemporary builds, and a mature tree canopy that creates cathedral-like streetscapes in every season. The neighbourhood is served by multiple stations on the Yonge subway line, and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will add a new east-west rapid transit dimension. Excellent schools, both public and private, are a major draw, and the area offers easy access to the ravine systems of Moore Park and the Belt Line Trail. North Toronto is where established families, professionals, and longtime residents enjoy a quality of life that is hard to match anywhere in the city.
