Large houses on wide lots, with the village at Spadina and Lonsdale at its centre.
Forest Hill was an independent village until it was absorbed into Toronto in the sixties, and it still reads as a place apart — winding streets, mature canopy, and detached houses on lots that are wide by any Toronto standard. The village at Spadina and Lonsdale gives it a genuine centre, and the private schools nearby are a significant part of why families move here. It is among the most expensive residential neighbourhoods in the city, and inventory is thin: many houses are held for a generation and sold quietly. Buyers considering Forest Hill are usually also considering Rosedale, and the choice often comes down to topography and school proximity rather than price.
Large detached houses; a small number of low-rise apartments and townhouses on the periphery.
Established families, often with children in the nearby private schools; long-tenured owners.
St Clair West and Eglinton West stations; the Eglinton Crosstown at the northern edge.
Parts of Forest Hill fall under heritage or tree protection provisions. Confirm before planning any rebuild.
