Neighbourhood: Lytton Park
Lytton Park is a neighbourhood in Midtown Toronto located at the southwestern corner of Yonge Street and Lawrence Avenue and extending past Avenue Road west to Bathurst Street. Briar Hill Road marks the southern boundary of the community.

The architecture here hails from the 1890s to the 1930s and is mostly of the Georgian and Tudor styles, though the buildings here have seen a good deal of renovation in recent years, with some homes being re-built entirely.
