About

Join us for a walk through Toronto’s first planned suburb for the professional and upper-middle class and learn how developer Simeon Jane’s ambitious vision has grown into a neighbourhood he would both recognize and be astonished by today.

The neighbourhood showcases distinctive Toronto architecture spanning the 1800s to the 21st century. See how certain aspects of the area have evolved with the times — from a revitalized park to a transformed church — while highlighting beautiful family homes that have adapted to modern life yet still retain the character and charm of their original design.
