Stately Home Investments in Toronto's Top Neighbourhoods
 
Luxury Home MarketThe luxury housing market in Toronto offers buyers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to investment properties and gorgeous places to live. Each neighbourhood has specific characteristics that appeal to a range of people, meaning that a home purchased today will retain its value in the future.
 
When investing in a luxury home, it is vital to look at more than simply the property itself. People in the housing market should also consider the following questions as they relate to the surrounding community:
  •  Are there reputable schools in the area?
  •  Is the neighbourhood readily accessible by public transportation?
  •  What services are offered by the community? For example, are there libraries, community centres, gyms or annual functions that would benefit your family?
  •  Are there parks nearby for children to play and off-leash areas to take pets?
  • Is there a variety of restaurants, clubs, bars and theatres for entertainment?
  •  What type of shopping does the area offer?
The following neighbourhoods are home to some of Toronto's top luxury properties:
 
Yorkville
 
Luxury homes don't always come in the form of large estate properties. For those who enjoy a condominium or townhouse lifestyle, Yorkville offers a range of luxurious homes in the heart of Canada's most distinguished shopping district. This neighbourhood is noted for its high-end shops, fine dining establishments, four-star hotels and high quality spas.
 
Yorkville reaches a frenzy during the Toronto International Film Festival, as many Hollywood stars flock to the area during their visit. For people who enjoy star-gazing, shopping and dining out, this neighbourhood is ideal.
 
Rosedale
 
Despite being located just north of the downtown core, Rosedale offers a peaceful, residential area that is perfect for families. Only one subway stop from Yorkville, this neighbourhood is ideal for those who enjoy a quiet community, but still want to indulge in the city's action.
 
The area is noted for its mature tree-lined streets, foliage and large stately homes. Geographically located on three protected ravines, Rosedale is a great place to enjoy nature. The area is home to the all-girls school, Branksome Hall as well as Rosedale Jr. Public School, Rose Avenue Public School, Jesse Ketchum Jr. & Sr. Public School and Rosedale Heights School of the Arts.
 
Moore Park
 
Another neighbourhood featuring mature trees is Moore Park. This area offers buyers an opportunity to live in a residential location with easy access to shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment which can be found at the intersection of Yonge St. and St. Clair Ave. Schools in the area include the following:
  • Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School;
  • Whitney Junior Public School;
  • North Toronto Collegiate; and
  • Northern Secondary School.
The Annex
 
The Annex is the ideal location for people who enjoy luxury homes in a downtown setting. As one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Toronto, the area has been home to many famous Canadians such as Margaret Atwood, David Suzuki and members of the rock band Sloan. A majority of the homes were built from the late 180s to the early 1900s and were home to the more elite residents of Toronto. As such, the properties offer large stately homes built in the stunning Victorian and Edwardian styles.
 
Regardless of whether you prefer to live downtown, midtown or uptown, Toronto's top real estate agents can guide their clients through the luxury homes in the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Yorkville Homes
Yorkville is a great community for adults, but not so much for young children. Those who are considering buying in Yorkville should take that into consideration before they make a decision. Ideally, if you're in the market for a home and you have plans of children, or currently have young kids aim for Rosedale or Moore Park instead of Yorkville.
