Renovating Forest Hill Real Estate? Increase the value and use
Did You Know About: |
Forest Hill is rich in Real Estate History: Forest Hill was named after the summer
residence of John Wickson which was built in 1860 at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Old Forest Hill
Road at the north end of what is now Lower Forest Hill Real Estate. As aforementioned the Upper Forest Hill district encompasses several blocks to the north but it is the district to
the south which is considered to be one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods
in Toronto.
When we look back at the history
of Toronto during the latter half of the 1800`s and early 1900`s many established Families owned large tracts of
Forest Hill Land. As Toronto grew these large tracts were parceled off
and in 1923 the area evolved into the community becoming the Village of Forest Hill. To beautify the development of the area Homeowners
were obligated to plant at least one tree in the front garden of their quality-built luxurious homes.
As was the upscale trend at the time the goal was to build a Village which would rival the best in the vicinity
of downtown Toronto. An oversized property is the norm for a Forest
Hill Mansion located in this premium residential neighbourhood south of Eglinton Avenue. Forest
Hill Mansions in this area have price tags that exceed several million dollars. Prestige is indeed
a descriptive adjective for Forest Hill Living in Toronto.
The Village of Forest Hill kept it’s independence from the City of Toronto while neighbourhoods of the city surrounded it. It was only in 1967 that the village was annexed and became amalgamated with the City of Toronto. FOREST HILL ARCHITECTURE & MORE FOREST HILL HISTORY In the 1800`s the majority of
home owners in the Forest Hill neighbourhood originated from Britain
and as such Georgian, Victorian, Romanesque, Gothic and
Tudor architectural designs were imported.
As has been witnessed throughout the
various building and renovation booms, many new home owners have completed extensive renovations
on the large stately properties and estates and in many cases have kept current
with modern day advances in technology: e.g. home additions, both indoor swimming pools and outdoor swimming pools,
fitness centers, exercise
rooms, electrical and plumbing upgrades, etc. To thwart the trend to tear down these stately homes and
rebuild more modern designs some Forest Hill Homes have achieved historical heritage designation
and all or parts of these homes are civically protected from destruction.
The existing Forest Hill Community’s concern is not so much in stifling the modernization
of the existing homes but rather with the complete demolition and building new modern day designs that do not fit with the
stately character which the area is renowned for.
PRESTIGIOUS FOREST
HILL LIVING IN TORONTO, CANADA Often historic Forest Hill Homes (Forest Hill Houses,
Forest Hill Estates and Forest
Hill Mansions) serve to be ideal as a Toronto Executive Home suitable for elegant
entertaining. The minimal traffic on these streets
also makes Forest Hill an ideal
location as a Toronto Family Home. Being
one of the city’s most affluent areas, many of Toronto’s finest homes can be found in Forest Hill. The original Garden Suburb theme of the late 1800’s and early
1900’s resulted in many of the Forest Hill Homes being built
on an oversized property. Many have constructed their own Toronto
Garden Oasis with tall mature trees and park like scenery that is professionally
landscaped and well maintained. Two car garage, three car garage
and even four car garage homes can be located in Forest Hill. Amenities
such as Fitness Centers, Saunas,
Swimming Pools, Wine Cellars
and so forth would be some of the features one might
find when searching for Forest Hill Real Estate For Sale.

Hill Houses and Estates. As age demographics dictate there will be further development

HILL LAND IN TORONTO Currently

Forest Hill Land for Development is at a premium, and yet those with great affluence have
been known to buy primarily for the land value to construct their Toronto Dream Home in Forest Hill.
Of course with the ingenuity of Industry Captains willing to invest in a Forest Hill Real
Estate Gem there will no doubt be further development over time. Whether it be the acquirement of one
or several large Forest Hill Estates to build the next best architectural masterpiece
or be it to buy Forest Hill Buildings for re-development along the perimeters of Spadina Avenue,
Eglinton Ave., Avenue Rd., or St. Clair Ave. W. As the
saying goes there is a price for almost any real estate and acquiring Forest Hill Land would
well express this adage.
FOREST HILL: THE COMMUNITY IN TORONTO Owing to the early bylaw
of having a minimum one tree on the front lawn Forest hill is indeed a Toronto neighbourhood that is rich with foliage with
ample green space including several public parks. Walking trails,
hiking trails and bicycle
paths connect to the rest of Toronto. Residents of Forest Hill are in close proximity to Downtown Toronto and as such have an extensive array of services, shops, restaurants and the prestigious entertainment district in neighbouring Yorkville at the centre of Toronto.
Several blocks to the east is Yonge Street, which being the longest street in the world, also offers
an extensive series of shops and entertainment.
Several of Canada’s most
esteemed Private Schools are located in the centre of Forest Hill:
Bishop Strachan School for girls and young women and Upper Canada College and St. Michael's College School for boys and young men. Several Public Schools
and a good selection of Child Care Facilities also serve this distinguished neighbourhood.
Some of Canada's richest and most famous citizens call Forest Hill home giving
testimony that in this price range Forest Hill may indeed be a sound Real Estate Investment with quality Downtown
living and an attractive residential flavour (flavor) brimming with character in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.
SOME REASONS
TO INVEST IN TORONTO
TRANSPORTATION Forest Hill Living includes having a central Toronto location with excellent access to Toronto’s major transportation routes (major roads and
highways) which serve the city to and from all directions: Living
in Forest Hill means that you can be at the island airport within 20 minutes and Toronto’s
Lester B. Pearson International Airport within 40 minutes.
Minutes to the Allan Expressway which connects with Highway #401 (part of the Trans
Canada Highway) represents the
main route into and out of the city from the north end of Toronto: excellent connections
to the highways that connect to the summer and winter playgrounds north, west and east of Toronto (such as Georgian Bay, Muskoka, Haliburton and The Kawarthas). Forest Hill Homes are also often complimented with Estates outside of Toronto: In non rush-hour it’s a half-hour drive north
to one’s e.g. Gormley Real Estate (Aurora, Newmarket areas).
PUBLIC SERVICES ENJOYED BY THOSE RESIDING IN FOREST HILL Being
adjacent to the Downtown Toronto Core means that the concentration of public services are
close by: As with all of Torontonians the city’s Public Services supply
basic needs: Water, Sanitation, Public Transit (although bus routes
are few), Snow Removal, Parks & Recreation, etc.
Toronto is a leader in the Health Care field. Numerous Hospitals, many of which have gained international notoriety are within a 10 to 20 minute drive. While the public services are distributed evenly throughout the city, no doubt the influence and power that constitutes this neighbourhood’s culture helps to ensure that this Residential District is especially well maintained. Toronto is an excellent city
to call home. With extensive services and a city budget in the billions so much is
here to serve you. As a native Torontonian I am available to show you around and can network you with
whichever services you may require. Please visit the City of Toronto Website.
