High Park Neighbourhood Location

2. Neighbourhood History

Established around Toronto’s largest public park, High Park has long been associated with nature, recreation, and prestigious early residential development. The area has preserved much of its historic housing stock, with tree-lined streets and grand early-20th-century homes.

3. Housing Types

Housing ranges from large detached or semi detached homes near the park to mid-rise condos and apartment buildings along Bloor Street West. The mix attracts both families and downsizers looking to remain in a walkable, transit-connected community. Many of the larger 3 - 4 bedroom homes will range in price between 1.5 Million - 2.5 Million, but it is possible to find some smaller 3 bedroom semis in and around the 1.5 Million range.

4. Walkability & Lifestyle

Daily errands can be done on foot, especially near Bloor West Village, known for bakeries, cafés, and European grocers. High Park itself is the neighbourhood’s crown jewel, offering trails, sports facilities, gardens, and year-round events.

5. Schools

Top Elementary: High Park Public School, Annette Street Junior and Senior Public School

Top Secondary: Humberside Collegiate Institute, Western Technical-Commercial School

Potential Drawbacks: Premium pricing near the park and limited new housing supply.
