High Park North, Toronto

High Park North is a densely built, mostly residential part of west Toronto, made up of a street grid with low-rise houses, apartment buildings and commercial strips along the main roads. Side streets are lined with detached and semi-detached houses, and condo and apartment buildings stand closer to the major avenues. Most homes sold there were built between 1926 and 2003, so the area mixes early and mid-century houses with newer buildings.
