More About Forest Hill South Real Estate

Forest Hill South is a subdivision of the larger Forest Hill neighbourhood that also comprises Forest Hill North. Before being a prominent neighbourhood, the Forest Hill area was Forest Hills Village, a humble village incorporated in 1923 that was amalgamated into Toronto in the 60s. Forest Hill South is bordered by Eglinton Avenue to the north, Lonsdale Road to the south, Elmsthorpe Avenue, Oriole Parkway and Avenue Road to the east, and Bathurst Street to the west.

Closest Neighbourhoods

Forest Hill South Toronto Real Estate Market

For many years, Forest Hill South has been a traditional housing spot for Toronto’s elite, which explains why the real estate market is flooded with multi-million dollar homes, townhouses, and luxury condo developments. The average listing price in the area is $3,774,000, but houses will sell for around $2,983,00 after being on the market for about 21 days.

The homes for sale in Forest Hill South have a long-dated reputation for being among the most exquisite ones in all of Toronto, second only to Rosedale or Bridle Path mansions. The majority of the splendorous dwellings are detached or semi-detached single-family homes, and despite being homes that date back to the ‘20s and ‘30s, they’re wonderfully kept. Georgian and Tudor-style houses are a constant in the area, but homebuyers can also find other styles like French Colonial or English Country Manor. Forest Hill South houses commonly stand on generous lots and have gated entrances and sculptured landscaping. A pool is another popular feature here.

There are neo-traditional brick facades and modern-style townhomes for sale, with prices ranging between $2,995,000 and $6,600,000. Care more for a condominium? You can make an offer for one of the units for sale on existing or new developments. Most condos are located on the neighbourhood’s edges, and some great ones are west of Spadina Road on Lonsdale Road and on Heath Street. A condo for sale is about $1,368,000 on average.

Forest Hill South Schools In Toronto

Parents relocating to Forest Hill South with school-age children have convenient access to great educational opportunities, regardless of where they put down roots in the neighbourhood. Children can enroll in elementary, middle, or high schools, both public and private, with secular and religious schooling options, as well as English or French language teaching programs. Some of the most prestigious schools in the neighbourhood are:

  • The Bishop Strachan School: This is Canada’s oldest independent day and boarding school that serves girls in grades K-12 only. It offers a challenging academic program that leads to placement at top-tier universities and colleges worldwide after graduation. Beyond the classroom, students spend their time doing art or practicing sports at the school facilities that include four gyms, a pool, sports fields, and two dance studios.
  • Upper Canada College: This private school specializes in giving boys between Kindergarten and Grade 12 a high-quality education focusing on leadership. Their robust co-curricular program provides students with several clubs, art disciplines, and athletics. The facilities have space for 19 different sports, including hockey, tennis, lacrosse, and cricket.

Living In Forest Hill South

Forest Hill South is a quiet neighbourhood but is far from being sleepy. The area is vibrant and dynamic, with people roaming the streets and mild traffic that generates low noise levels. Forest Hill South offers a lot of privacy and is one of the safest spots to live near the city’s core. Keep reading to know about additional perks of living in this neighbourhood:

  • Curiously, Forest Hill South’s stunning and uniform streetscape came to be due to some old ordinances. Past codes and by-laws from the 1930s required homes in the neighbourhood to be designed by an architect and have a tree planted at each property’s front. It all resulted in a legacy of beauty that’s everlasting.
  • The neighbourhood doesn’t lack green spaces. A substantial portion of the Kay Gardner Beltline trail traverses the northeast corner of Forest Hill South, while the southwest corner encompasses a big chunk of the Cedarvale Ravine connecting with Suydam Park giving locals easy access to a variety of outdoor activities year-round.
  • Local schools are so good that many people buy property in the neighbourhood only to secure quality education for their children.
  • There’s not much left of the forest that gave Forest Hills South its name. However, the neighbourhood’s undulating topography, twisting roads, and gentle hills are a silent testimony of its nature-filled past, along with the charming parks and parkettes and spacious home lots that grace the surroundings today.

Parks

Parks are another highlight of Forest Hill South. Suydam Park is a top favourite, offering residents a well-equipped playground, picnic tables, and a dog walking trail filled with lush greenery. The park mixes its grounds with Ridgewood Park Humber and the scenic Cedarvale Ravine for extra outdoorsy family fun.

On the opposite side, going east, there’s another lovely park: Forest Hill Road Park, featuring a children’s play area and gorgeous picnic spots under mature trees. This park connects with Kay Gardner Beltline Trail and is great for taking some fresh air or going hiking, jogging, or biking. More activities await at Oriole Park, with a tennis court, ball diamond, and ping pong tables if you keep heading east.

Amenities

The Forest Hill Shopping District, centred around Spadina Road and Lonsdale Road, is a private amenities hub that understands the area’s refined lifestyle, offering products and services for every taste and budget. Here, residents can find everything from high-end stores, retailers, and boutiques, to eclectic restaurants and trendy cafes. Additional shopping opportunities are a few minutes north by car at Forest Hill Village. Still, charming local stores and businesses can be found along Eglinton Avenue West, including small fresh produce markets, fitness centres, and beauty and spa services.

Recreational Facilities

Parks are large sources of relaxation and recreational opportunities in the neighbourhood, but there are more. Forest Hill South’s residents can practice tennis at Forest Hill Tennis Club or catch up on their reading list at the Forest Hill Branch of the Toronto Public Library. The Brown Community Centre, located south of the neighbourhood, features an indoor swimming pool and several programs and activities designed for every age range.

Healthcare

Forest Hill South offers a variety of options for locals seeking medical care and pharmacies, dental care clinics, and a long-term home care facility. On Eglinton Avenue West, North of the neighbourhood, is the Toronto Paramedic Services and several specialized clinics including family medicine, pediatrics, neurology, and head & neck medicine. To the south is the Cedarvale Terrace Long Term Care Home. Residents needing more detailed medical attention can drive north to Baycrest Hospital or northeast to Sunnybrook Health Science Centre.

Many homes for sale in Forest Hill South are located in pedestrian-friendly spots, which translates into convenience for carrying-out everyday businesses. It is also agreeable to commute by bike and even car since parking isn’t too troublesome in the area. As far as public transit options go, most of the alternatives are located south, with St. Clair West Station giving access to the Yonge-University subway line.
