Neighbourhood: Rosedale

Characterized by a series of natural ravines and a healthy old money pedigree, Rosedale is one of Toronto’s most famous and influential neighbourhoods. The traffic routes that navigate the ravines are all narrow and winding, resulting in there being little thoroughfare in the area. This, in combination with the abundance of trees and foliage found here make this neighbourhood quiet and rather idyllic despite being bordered by two of Toronto’s busiest downtown streets, Yonge to the west and Bloor to the south.
