Neighbourhood guide  /  West End

High Park

The park itself sets the tone. Good subway access and a mix of long-term owners and first-time buyers.

High Park is the largest park in the city and the neighbourhood takes its character directly from it — four hundred acres of woodland, trails, a small zoo and the cherry trees that draw crowds each spring. The residential streets around it hold a mix of detached houses, converted houses and a significant stock of low-rise apartment buildings from the mid-century, which is unusual for a west end neighbourhood and creates a genuinely varied population. Two subway stations serve it. For buyers who want green space without leaving the city, this is the reference point.
