TORONTO NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE

LAWRENCE PARK SOUTH

Bordered by Yonge Street to the west, Bayview Avenue to the east, Blythwood Ravine to the south, and Lawrence Avenue to the north, Lawrence Park South includes the area west of Avenue Road south to Eglinton Avenue. Like Lawrence Park North, this area includes three distinct geographic communities: Blythwood, Lytton Park, and Allenby. First advertised as an aristocratic neighbourhood in the early part of the 19th century, Lawrence Park South now forms part of the wealthiest postal code in Canada. The strength of the area remains its proximity to fantastic schools, recreational facilities, easily-accessible public transportation, and quick access to Highway 401.

Here you will find a wide variety of home styles including English Cottage, Tudor Revival, Georgian, and Colonial. While most of these homes were built between 1910 and the late 1940s, there has been significant redevelopment over the last 20 years. Most of the new homes have been built to match the existing architectural style of the neighbourhood. There are also a number of condos and rental properties. Most residents are established families with young children.

LIVING IN LAWRENCE PARK SOUTH

As one of Toronto’s first planned garden suburbs, Lawrence Park South is a haven for ravine and park lovers, and dog owners. Mount Pleasant Road serves as the neighbourhood’s retail hub, while Yonge Street north of Lawrence Avenue is home to a successful commercial district. There are many popular restaurants in the area, and the local shops include fashion boutiques, children’s stores, sporting goods stores, gift shops, bakeries, and coffee shops. Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens, a landscaped urban oasis with colorful flower beds and footpaths, is a must visit attraction in the area.

The strength of the area remains its proximity to fantastic neighbourhood public and private schools, recreational facilities, easily accessible public transportation and quick access to Toronto’s Highway 401.
