The People and The Real Estate in High Park

The Canadian city of Toronto is known for its fast-paced culture, rewarding employment opportunities, and well-planned neighborhoods. If you are desirous of setting in this city, you will find a host of residential areas, but High Park steals the limelight. Finding a High Park real estate opportunity would be an excellent way to sink into the neighbourhood’s vibe.

Also known as High Park North, the neighborhood is named after the park of the same name. This pristine neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario has a historical character, rooting back to the era of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg territories. Historically, it has been the home to Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat nations and existed as a part of Indian Road Crescent, a trading trail that led to the lake.

Today, High Park is one of the most sought-after communities in the Toronto region, housing people across generations and retains the development style of the 20^th and 21^st centuries. It emerged as a prominent neighborhood after Bloor Street underwent development following World War I, with several residential homes built then still standing strong.

The New Community of High Park

The convenient location of High Park has been one of the reasons why this neighborhood became popular amongst the local folks. The region was covered under the town of Toronto Junction. Early housing in the area was clustered in the northern and eastern parts of the region for the very fact that it provided easy access to the stories and industries flourishing along Dundas Street.

The area underwent a complete transformation post World War I, with many new streets and divisions emerging within the neighborhood. It is bounded by Bloor Street on the south, Runnymede Road on the west, Humberside Avenue, Annette Street and Quebec Avenue on the north, and the CNR/CPR railway tracks on the east. The neighborhood is now located in the Parkdale High Park provincial and federal electoral districts.

The major attraction of this neighborhood is its location close to High Park. The municipal park spans over an area of 400 acres and provides an eclectic mix of cultural facilities, sporting facilities, educational facilities, playgrounds, gardens, and a zoo.

One-third of the park is preserved in its natural state, showcasing an oak savannah ecology of the utmost rarity. It is located north of Humber Bay and west of Downtown Toronto and falls under the administration of the City of Toronto. It sprawls from The Queensway to Bloor Street West, a little to the north of Lake Ontario. It is bounded by Parkside Drive on the east and Grenadier Pond and Ellis Park on the west.

The neighborhood of High Park is also blessed with a number of educational facilities. Annette Public School, High Park Alternate School Jr., Indian Road Crescent Junior School, Keele Street Community School and Community Centre, Western Technical-Commercial School, and Humberside Collegiate Institute are few institutions in the neighborhood operated by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). On the other hand, an elementary school called St. Cecilia School, located on Annette Street is operated by the Toronto District Catholic School Board (TDCSB).

The Runnymede Branch of the Toronto Public Library is situated with the High Park neighborhood at Glendonwynne Road and Bloor Street West. The library's Annette Branch is located at Annette and Medland, which forms the northeast part of the community. The Keele, Dundas West and High Park stations serve the neighbourhood. All these subways stations operate local buses to various parts of the city.
