ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Forest Hill neighborhood is one of Toronto’s most prestigious areas. Forest Hill’s schools are among the best in the country, and include two revered private schools, Bishop Strachan School for girls and Upper Canada College for boys. Oriole Park Public School is also a part of this neighbourhood. Forest Hill is one of Toronto’s prettiest districts, with majestic trees lining all the streets, and its diverse topography, which includes gently sloping hills, winding roads, and little parkettes, all of which add charm to the neighbourhood.
The Forest Hill Village shopping district is centred around the intersection of Spadina Road and Lonsdale Road. The ambience of this private enclave of stores is that of a small town rather than a big city. The Village’s boutiques and shops cater to the specific needs of Forest Hill’s affluent residents. The Eglinton West Village shopping district, west of Bathurst Street, has a large variety of stores to suit every taste and budget. This street also contains many fine restaurants, food stores, and a fitness centre. On the section of Eglinton Avenue, east of Chaplin Crescent, is another strip of fashion stores, plus many other shops and restaurants.
Forest Hill Public Library has a myriad of programs for adults, children, and preschoolers. The Forest Hill skating rink, on Chaplin Crescent, offers recreational skating as well as organized hockey. There are several synagogues and churches within a few minutes’ drive of the Forest Hill homes.
Both the “upper” Forest Hill Village, north of Eglinton Avenue, and the “lower village” below Eglinton, are conveniently located within walking distance of bus routes that connect passengers to subway stations at Yonge and Eglinton, and Eglinton West, at the Allen Road. For motorists, the neighbourhood is easily accessible to major thoroughfares, particularly Eglinton Avenue, Spadina Road, Davisville Avenue, Yonge Street, Avenue Road, and the Allen Road, which connects to Highway 401. It is a short drive to downtown Toronto, and approximately 25 minutes to the airport.
