Parkwoods-O'Connor Hills

About Parkwoods-O'Connor Hills

Parkwoods-O'Connor Hills is a residential enclave in North York where mature trees, winding streets, and proximity to the Don Valley ravine system create a surprisingly pastoral feel for a neighbourhood within city limits. The housing mix includes detached post-war homes, townhouse clusters, and mid-rise apartments, offering options across a range of budgets. Many of the streets back onto ravine lots, giving residents a backyard that stretches into forested parkland. The neighbourhood's commercial needs are served primarily along Sheppard Avenue East and at nearby plazas, while Parkwoods Park provides sports fields and a community centre. Victoria Park Avenue runs through the area, offering bus connections south to the subway and north toward the 401. Families are drawn here by the quiet streets and the green space; those who stay discover a close-knit community where block parties and park cleanups remain a regular occurrence.
