Named as a tribute to the abundant roses that graced the hillsides of the Jarvis estate, Rosedale is one of the oldest and most affluent suburbs in Toronto. It is the choice of those who appreciate a marriage of historic character and luxurious living—all within the confines of the city.
Enclosed by the CPR railway tracks to the north, Yonge Street to the west, Aylmer Avenue and Rosedale Valley Road to the south, and Bayview Avenue to the east, Rosedale is serviced by the Yonge subway line and is a few minutes from the Don Valley Parkway (DVP). Built among ancient ravines and preserved parkland, the neighbourhood’s thick foliage muffles the noise of the city on these low-traffic streets. The beautiful single-family detached dwellings are Victorian, Georgian, Tudor, and Edwardian homes built between 1869 and 1930, many of which are listed with the Toronto Historical Board’s Inventory of Heritage Homes. In fact, the entire area is now a heritage district.
Rosedale features many upscale shops, trendy watering holes, casual and fine dining restaurants, and popular cafés. The Vale of Avoca, Moore Park, Park Drive, and Rosedale Valley ravines offer beautiful walking trails. Neighbours also frequent Schofield Avenue to play tennis on one of the eight tennis courts or to enjoy sports on the field, artificial rink, and wading pool. Mooredale House is a community centre for adults and children, which also funds Rosedale’s annual spring party on the first Saturday of May. It is also home to the Rosedale Public School and the exclusive all-girls school Branksome Hall.
