Hoggs Hollow

A small enclave in the valley below York Mills, with large houses and heavy tree cover.

Hoggs Hollow sits in the valley of the West Don below York Mills, and it is one of the most distinctive settings in the city — a small number of large houses on winding streets at the bottom of a ravine, with dense tree cover and the river running through. It was a milling village before it was absorbed, and the scale still feels village-like. Very few properties trade in any given year. The setting is the entire proposition, and the constraints that come with it — floodplain, conservation rules, tree protection — are correspondingly significant.

Housing stock

Large detached houses on irregular valley lots, many custom built or extensively rebuilt.

Who buys here

Established families and long-tenured owners; sales are infrequent.

Transit

York Mills station a short distance uphill; the 97 Yonge bus.

Worth checking

Parts of the valley are within the floodplain. Confirm insurance and building permissions carefully.
