Lawrence Park, one of Toronto’s first planned garden suburbs, made headlines in 2011 when it was ranked one Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhood. A peaceful and tranquil setting, it treats its prominent residents to rolling hills, winding roads, and a variety of privacy-enhancing trees and shrubbery.
Established in 1907, Lawrence Park’s subdivision saw its full development into an aristocratic neighbourhood in the 1950s. Today, buyers can choose from a mix of historical and contemporary, among them whimsical English Cottage homes, Tudor Revival, Georgian and Colonial styles. Although many of homes have undergone renovations, been demolished and replaced by custom-design homes, efforts have been made to preserve the charm in the older homes, including such details as leaded glass windows, wood trimming, decorative fireplace mantels, and hardwood floors.
Lawrence Park families appreciate the neighbourhood’s private and public schools and quiet streets. Cultural institutions like The Granite Club, Toronto French School, and Crescent School enrich the neighbourhood. Surrounded by Lawrence Avenue, Bayview Avenue, and Yonge Street, traffic in the neighbourhood is generally light. For shopping and dining experiences, residents frequent upscale boutiques at the Lawrence Shopping Centre and fine dining restaurants in the area.
