Neighbourhood: Lawrence Park
Lawrence Park is a neighbourhood in North Toronto located between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue and below Lawrence Avenue East to Blythwood Ravine in the south. It is often confused with nearby Lytton Park, which extends west of here to Bathurst Street.
Developers first purchased the land here in the early 20th century but development was stunted by the wars and the depression. These early developers billed the neighbourhood as being a “garden suburb” and “aristocratic” and many today would agree that they met their intentions; along with many of the neighbouring communities, Lawrence Park is among Toronto’s most affluent.
