Neighbourhood: Summerhill

Bisected east-west by Yonge Street, Canada’s longest street and one of Toronto’s most important transit thoroughfares, and just below St. Clair Avenue, Summerhill lies almost in the heart of midtown Toronto. Having Yonge street at the heart of the neighbourhood gives its residents access to a subway station as well as a host of shops, services and restaurants in addition to several offices in the area.
