This home is situated in the popular Ledbury Park neighborhood, an area that was developed from the 1920’s to the 1950’s. As the first generation Ledbury families have begun moving out, young urban professional families are moving in. The ripple effect of this change in demographics can be seen in the flurry of building activity taking place in this neighborhood as the smaller original homes are being replaced with expensive custom built homes. The local parks have also undergone recent improvements and Avenue Road has emerged as one of Toronto’s finest shopping districts.

For neighborhood shopping, Avenue Road offers a tremendous mix of shops, including gourmet food shops, large video stores, fashion stores, gift shops, home design and furnishing shops, pharmacies, children’s stores, sports stores, beauty salons, antique shops, professional offices, and a large variety of restaurants. The Bathurst Street shopping district is much different in tone than Avenue Road. This shopping district includes Jewish food and gift shops, delicatessens, restaurants, and a handful of popular bakeries that serve up freshly baked bagels.

The Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care is nearby, as is the Morris Winchevsky Centre, a secular Jewish organization that has a children’s Sunday School and a seniors’ club as well as hosting a variety of educational and cultural events. There are synagogues and churches within walking distance.

Ledbury Park, in the centre of the neighborhood, was recently redesigned and has at its focus a rectangular shaped reflecting pool and skating rink that is linked to a swimming pool and a water play area designed specifically for young children. There are also a number of smaller children’s playgrounds contained within the Ledbury neighborhood.


Highlights of the Area

The Armour Heights Community Centre has dance and fitness programs for adults and a myriad of programs for toddlers and preschoolers. Armour Heights Public Library is located inside the community centre. The ultra-modern Barbara Frum Public Library on Bathurst Street has a wide range of facilities including a 150-seat auditorium.

Ledbury residents are well-served by public transit. The Bathurst bus connects passengers to the subway lines, as do the buses along Avenue Road. For those who enjoy a good exercise walk, the Lawrence station on the Yonge subway line can be reached on foot or by bus. For motorists, this neighborhood is served by several main thoroughfares, including Bathurst Street, Wilson Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, and Avenue Road. Downtown Toronto is a 25-minute drive via Avenue Road or Bathurst Street. Highway 401 is just minutes away, and connects with other major highways including the Don Valley Parkway & Highway 404, Highway 400, and Highway 427.

In summary, this neighborhood is ideal for city dwellers who want the charm of the suburbs, and the convenience of the big city.
