YORK MILLS
York Mills is one of Toronto's most affluent and highly valued neighbourhoods.
York Mills is one of Toronto's most affluent neighbourhoods. York Mills is famous for its expansive properties, century old trees and lush landscape. All of these trademarks form the perfect backdrop for the executive-style houses found in this neighbourhood. Part of the area is also known as Hoggs Hollow, named for James Hogg, a Scottish settler who settled in the area in 1824 and operated the mill on Yonge Street at the Don River north of the Town of York (now Toronto), by his sons John and William in 1856. Another portion is named St. Andrew-Windfields. St. Andrew-Windfields most famous resident was the popular Canadian Philanthropist E. P. Taylor who left Canada towards the latter years of his life and donated Parkland (now Windfields Park) and his mansion (now the Canadian Film Centre).
The original York Mills housing stock dates from the late 1920's to the 1960's. There are pockets of Tudor inspired manor houses, English Cottage style designs, and contemporary designs. There are also large numbers of ranch-style bungalows and split-level houses which are gradually being replaced by large new custom-built homes.
ST. ANDREWS-WINDFIELD:
The Windfields neighbourhood is named after Windfields Farm, the estate of Canadian philanthropist E. P. Taylor, who donated 30 acres of land, which is now Windfields Park. The neighbourhood's setting encompasses a variety of parks and golf courses. St Andrews-Windfield is home to many prestigious public and private schools, making it an excellent neighbourhood to raise a family.
Mandarin, Korean, Persian (Farsi), Cantonese and Chinese (not otherwise specified) are among the top five non-official languages in St. Andrew-Windfields.
HOGGS HOLLOW:
Hogg's Hollow is an enchanted place set in the rustic beauty of the Don River valley. Here you will find winding crescents and private cul-de-sacs lined with a colour guard of majestic Maple, Birch, Pine, Spruce and Willow Trees. There is even a stone bridge in the middle of this neighbourhood under which the Don River gently flows on its winding course towards Lake Ontario.
Hoggs Hollow's idyllic charm comes with a huge price tag as this is one of Toronto's most expensive neighbourhoods. Hogg's Hollow houses are set in a lush landscape with a hill and dale topography that is left unfettered and in its original state without the intrusion of sidewalks.
Hoggs Hollow houses were built over a long period of time between the 1920's and 1960's, which accounts for the curious mixture of English Cottage, Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and Modernist architecture found here.
BANBURY-DONMILLS:
The Banbury-Don Mills Toronto neighbourhood offers several schools, public libraries, community centers, child care service providers, and parks; including Wilket Creek Park which offers more than two kilometers of pedestrian/bicycle trails. Burnaby-Don Mills is also in close proximity to great restaurants, shopping such as Shops at Don Mills and convenient access to transit via TTC.
The Banbury-Don Mills Toronto neighbourhood predominantly consists of apartment units and single -detached houses; ranging from ranch-style houses to new condo developments. Housing prices vary in this area depending on the size and type of dwelling.
