Forest Hill South, Toronto

Forest Hill South is a residential area of Toronto where low-rise streets of detached houses sit alongside condo apartment buildings, centred on the St. Clair West subway station. Streets away from the main roads are mostly quiet and residential, with a mix of older and mid-century houses and apartment buildings that concentrate along the busier corridors. Most homes sold in the last 24 months were built between 1951 and 2003. Detached houses made up 49% of the 162 homes sold over the last 24 months, and condo apartments made up 38%. The typical home sold has 3 bedrooms. The median sale price over that period was $2,265,000, and the median time on the market was 25 days. There are currently 13 homes for sale. St. Clair West station is inside the area and is on the Yonge-University subway line (Line 1). The 512 St. Clair streetcar runs along St. Clair Avenue West, and Bathurst Street and Spadina Road are nearby major roads. Allen Road and Highway 401 are within reach to the north for drivers. Shops and services are found mainly along the main roads and around the station. They include cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies, along with other everyday services. The area has eight parks and parkettes: Dunvegan Parkette, Forest Hill Road Park, Hedy Bohm Park, Kay Gardner Beltline Park, Old Forest Hill Parkette, Robert Bateman Parkette, Rosemary Parkette and Suydam Park. Several are small neighbourhood green spaces set among residential streets. Holy Rosary Catholic School, part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, is inside the area.
