Summerhill Condos

Bisecting the community into two, Yonge Street runs down the middle of this neighbourhood and largely serves as a main commercial area and transit corridor. Nearby businesses that have developed along this stretch of road include high-end eateries, bistros, and juice bars as well as services like banks and pharmacies, adding up to a collection of nearby conveniences that have earned Summerhill a tremendous Walk Score of 92, designating it as a “Walker’s Paradise” where errands can be completed without the use of a car.

Not only that, this neighbourhood is home to multiple facilities and institutions that cater to families. This area’s abundant green space includes Ramsden Park, David A Balfour Park, and Robertson Davies Park while notable schools found within its jurisdiction include The York School, The Arabesque Academy, and Cottingham Junior Public School.

Additionally, Summerhill’s prominence as a community can also be seen from the important neighbours it has managed to attract, many of them noteworthy schools. These include venerable Toronto landmark Casa Loma, the George Brown College Casa Loma Campus, Upper Canada College, private girls’ school Branksome Hall, and Jarvis CI, all located within close walking distance. Not just that, this uptown neighbourhood is situated moments away from the trendy Yorkville shopping and dining area, while the downtown core lies just beyond Bloor Street to the south.

As incredibly walkable as this neighbourhood is, it proves to also be incredibly convenient when it comes to transit options.

Summerhill is home to its eponymous subway station as well as Rosedale, while Line 1 St Clair Station and Duport are both nearby. As well, the area is served by streetcar (512 St Clair) and multiple bus routes and will see a future Eglinton LRT station built to its north. And, although no official plans have been announced, government authorities have long hinted that North Toronto Station (currently an LCBO outlet) will be revived again as a transportation hub on the future GO Transit Midtown Corridor.

As a distinctive neighbourhood known throughout the city, Summerhill is a vibrant community that will continue to serve as of Toronto’s most-esteemed and coveted real estate markets.
