Between Yonge and the ravine, with a short, well-used commercial strip.

Summerhill is a small neighbourhood between Rosedale and Deer Park, best known for the old North Toronto railway station — now a liquor store — and the short run of specialty food shops along Yonge. The housing is mostly Victorian semi-detached and rowhouses on narrow streets, tightly held and rarely available. It benefits from being immediately adjacent to Rosedale without carrying the same prices, and from the ravine at its eastern edge. The scale is intimate: it is a walkable pocket rather than a large district, and buyers tend to know exactly which streets they want.
Victorian semis and rowhouses; a small number of apartments and newer townhouses.
Professionals and downsizers, often moving from a larger house nearby.
Summerhill station on the Yonge line; Rosedale station a short walk south.
Lots are narrow and many houses have no private parking. Confirm what a listing actually includes.
