Why we love it: It’s a great place to raise a family without sacrificing the conveniences of the big city; commuters can easily make their way downtown while enjoying the quiet neighbourhood’s peaceful lifestyle.

The popular Riverdale Park is one of the largest in the city. Tobogganers love its steep hills and it offers great views of the city. Another local favourite is Withrow Park. If you’re there in the summer, be sure to check out Shakespeare in the Ruff, a professional outdoor theatre company. Withrow Park also hosts a popular farmers’ market.

The highly-ranked schools, shops, and convenient access to transit attract many people to this area east of the Don Valley Parkway. Cyclists, motorists, and walkers will all be happy in Riverdale. It’s easily accessible by car and multiple TTC lines provide access to the Bloor-Danforth subway.
