Neighbourhood guide  /  Midtown

Lawrence Park

Curved streets, deep gardens and consistently strong resale.

Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026

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.

What are homes like in Lawrence Park?
