TORONTO NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE

ROSEDALE & MOOREPARK

It is generally assumed that the dividing line between Moore Park to the north and Rosedale to the south is the railway tracks that bisect this large central neighbourhood. Indeed, this is an area with many natural barriers. To the north is the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, to the south is the Park Drive Ravine and the railway tracks, to the east is the Moore Park Ravine and to the west is the Avoca Ravine. Of course, that’s not all that makes this one of Toronto’s most sought after neighbourhoods. For over one hundred years Rosedale has held the distinction of being Toronto’s most fashionable address. The neighbourhood is filled with beautiful ravines and parkland, yet just a few minutes from Toronto’s major business, entertainment, and shopping districts.

REAL ESTATE IN ROSEDALE & MOOREPARK

Much of Rosedale's Victorian, Georgian, Tudor, and Edwardian style mansions were built between 1860 and 1930. Moore Park wasn’t far behind, being established some 30 years later and while much of South Rosedale contains a number of inexpensive condominium, co-operative, and co-ownership apartment buildings you are likely to find many newer townhouses as well as a fair number of duplex and multi-plex homes in Moore Park.

Both South Rosedale and North Rosedale are designated as heritage conservation districts in Toronto. Due to the neighbourhood’s garden suburb characteristics and grand old houses, many Rosedale homes are listed on the Toronto Historical Board’s Inventory of Heritage Properties.

LIVING IN ROSEDALE & MOOREPARK

With its many ravines and convoluted street routes, Rosedale-Moore Park is known for its low levels of vehicular traffic. There are a number of top schools in Rosedale-Moore Park, including Branksome Hall, an exclusive all-girls school. Rosedale Public School is a small elementary school in central Rosedale, across the street from Rosedale’s community centre, Mooredale House.

Mayfair is the neighbourhood’s annual spring park party, traditionally on the first Saturday in May. The event typically includes rides, games, a flea market, and other such festival-type activities.
