Neighbourhood guide  /  Midtown

Lawrence Park

Curved streets, deep gardens and consistently strong resale.

Lawrence Park was laid out as a garden suburb in the early twentieth century and remains one of the most expensive residential neighbourhoods in Toronto. The streets curve with the topography rather than following a grid, the lots are deep, and the houses are substantial — Tudor and Georgian revival predominantly, many of them original and carefully maintained. The ravine runs through the middle of it, the schools are a major draw, and inventory is consistently thin. Buyers are typically established families moving from elsewhere in midtown, and the market rewards patience: the right house on the right street may come up once in a season.

Housing stock

Large detached houses on deep lots; very little semi-detached or apartment stock.

Who buys here

Established families and long-tenured owners; low turnover and generational holds.

Transit

Lawrence station on the Yonge line; the Lawrence and Yonge bus routes.

Worth checking

Ravine and tree protection provisions apply to much of the neighbourhood. Confirm before planning an addition.
