YONGE AND EGLINTON NEIGHBOURHOOD

 History

At the turnof the nineteenth century Yonge and Eglinton was part of the largest cattle grazing region in Upper Canada (now the Southern region of Ontario). The farmland in the area slowly faded away over the next century, as businesses and housing started to develop, especially after the Eglinton Subway station was opened in 1954.  

Homes, Shopping and Recreation

Yonge and Eglinton is an eclectic neighbourhood with detached and semi-detached houses, townhouses, and high rises. There is something for everyone, whether you are a part of a large family or are single, looking for a clean and trendy place to live. Yonge and Eglinton is very popular with young professionals.  If you’re in the market for a home, then the Yonge and Eglinton community provides many options. The recent boom in condominium development from starter one bedroom units to Condo Townhomes to million dollar penthouses has brought a new, modern-style homeowner into the area. If a more traditional property is what you have in mind, then you need look no further than this much-sought-after North Toronto community.

For the most part, these 'house properties' are a mix of two storey semis and classic two storey detached brick homes, which offer the discriminating homebuyer a sense of security and belonging. Couple the classic look and feel of these homes with their proximity to the downtown Toronto core, main thoroughfares and upscale retail areas, and the result is a perfect place to live, work and play.
