is some of the most desirable real estate in Toronto. The Summerhill neighbourhood offers great shopping, dining and transit . Along with multiple parks, private clubs, private and public schools.

Large old mansions on Woodlawn Ave East perched on the hill overlook the city and have some of the best skyline views. Farnham Avenue homes are gracious , most have parking and generous city lots and are walking distance to The York School and De La Salle.

Summerhill Neighbourhood history
The Summerhill neighbourhood was named after the " Summer hill " house built in the mid 1800's. Most of the neighbourhood was a part of the Thompson Estate that was home to the Summerhill Spring Park. This was an amusement park with rides, games and a swimming pool. The property stretched from Yonge Street to Mt Pleasant Road and was later subdivided by his heirs in the 1860's. In the 1880's the North Toronto Railway reached Summerhill on Yonge Street and the neighbourhood quickly grew. The train station defined the development of the surrounding area including the Summerhill neighbourhood. The workers from the railroad needed housing, and this is evident in the tall charming attached and semi detached row houses found on many Summerhill Streets. This Summerhill Station became the main train station for the Canadian Pacific Railway ( CP Railway) in the early 1900's, around 1920's. It was later closed, and now the old railway station has been revitalized as the neighbourhood LCBO for the area of Summerhill and Rosedale. The boundaries for Summerhill stretch to the north a couple of blocks south of St. Clair, Avenue Road in the west, Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant to the east and Davenport Road and the railway in the south.
Summerhill boasts beautiful tree lined and many winding streets. You will also find an abundance of Parkland that has helped to make the neighbourhood one of Toronto's most preferred neighbourhoods. Conveniently located along Toronto's main street the Yonge Corridor, Summerhill is just steps to the gateway of the Downtown. Transportation is provided by the Summerhill Subway Station that provides easy acces to the business and entertainment districts.
