Neighbourhoods/
Rosedale
Ravine lots and century homes minutes from Yonge Street, where a small number of sales come up each year.
What it's like
One of Toronto's oldest residential neighbourhoods, named after the estate of Sheriff William Jarvis. Its winding streets follow the ravines, so it feels secluded even though Yonge Street and downtown are minutes away.
The homes
Large Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian-style houses, many on ravine lots, plus condo buildings along Bloor Street East, Church Street and Jarvis. Much of South Rosedale is a heritage conservation district, which affects what can be changed on a house's exterior.
Getting around
Rosedale and Summerhill stations on Line 1, and Castle Frank on Line 2, are all close by, and the Don Valley Parkway is minutes away.
Parks, schools and shops
Ravine trails, Craigleigh Gardens, Chorley Park and Rosedale Park are all part of daily life here. Schools include Rosedale Junior Public School, Whitney Junior Public School and Branksome Hall. The shops and food stores of Summerhill are a short walk away.
Working with me
Your Rosedale Realtor
I'm Rebecca Himelfarb, a Broker and Partner at Forest Hill Real Estate, and I've been helping Rosedale buyers and sellers for more than 17 years, from condos along Bloor Street East to family homes on the ravine streets. I closed over 50 deals in the past year. My clients have left me 94 five-star reviews.
Because so few homes come up each year, every sale sets the tone for the next one. Pricing takes careful work with the most recent sales nearby, and on a heritage street I check what the district rules allow before a buyer plans a renovation.
