Summerhill

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

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

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.
