Welcome To Moore Park
Welcome to Toronto’s Moore Park neighbourhood!
Moore Park sits sandwiched between the neighbourhoods of Rosedale and Leaside, bordering St.Clair Avenue and Mount Pleasant. Not a bad place to be sandwiched – this is an upscale neighbourhood, surrounded by equally upscale ‘hoods.
Built by John T. Moore, the careful planning of ‘Moore Park’ included tasteful marketing of the area to this city’s wealthiest. In 1891 there were even two new bridges built to encourage investment in the area: the original steel bridge on St.Clair (over the Vale of Avoca), and the original wooden bridge on Moore Avenue (over Spring Valley Ravine). These bridges add a scenic quality to the already pastoral and suburban characteristics of Moore Park.
Yes, there are grand homes (mainly Victorian, Edwardian and new builds) in Moore Park, but the area’s ‘secret sauce’ is in the elegant mixture of urban and suburban living. Residents of Moore Park are gifted with greenery, ravine trails, well-kept gardens, larger residential lots, wide streets, winding walking trails, quiet (low-traffic) roads, and beautiful parks–but also get the benefits of remaining at the hub of city living. Locals are just arm’s reach from major roadways, the TTC, top-notch shopping, restaurants, cafes, pubs, and more, yet most traffic winds around (not through) the area, making Moore Park a popular spot for families to settle down in. Street hockey, anyone?
A beautiful place to live, Moore Park real estate is highly coveted. Naturally, this is an expensive area of Toronto, but you will be hard-pressed to find any ‘monster homes’. Neighbourhood homes, although impressive, stand subtly amidst an idyllic backdrop. If you’re willing to pay a little bit (sometimes a lot) more for your home (and able to) we recommend looking at Moore Park.
Popular nearby hot spots include (but are not limited to): Moore Park Ravine (takes you all the way to the Brick Works!), Cava (on St.Clair), Union Social (on St.Clair), and the Black Camel (Rosedale).

Your Typical Neighbour
Your typical Moore Park neighbour is not unlike your typical Rosedale neighbour. After all, the two areas essentially blend seamlessly together. Residents of Moore Park are wealthy, generally educated, well-travelled, and for the most part…quite stylish! Neighbours range from professionals to families, and a more elderly demographic – as people tend to hold on to their homes (there’s very little reason to want to move).
What We Love
We love the location of Moore Park. The area’s proximity to ravines, biking trails, and parks while being at the cusp of Yonge Street, Mount Pleasant, Bloor Street, and St.Clair – make this are a real winner in our books. Oh, and did we already mention the gorgeous homes and tree-lined streets? Yes, yes, I think we did….
What We Don’t Love
Well, clearly we don’t like that it’s not cheap–the average Torontonian will not be able to afford homes here. (Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could move to Moore Park?) It’s also on the slower side if you’re a younger person looking for more city action. But honestly, you’re so close to so much that this city has to offer…it is very hard to find something we truly ‘don’t like’ about Moore Park.
The Real Estate Scoop
Expensive, but for reason. Just like Rosedale, homes in Moore Park are generally very old, but updated, elegant mid-large sized brickstones that are well-kept with extreme pride of ownership. Often the stately grounds are manicured by teams of professionals, making warmer months very scenic – flawless greenscapes as far as the eye can see. Luckily, Moore Park’s local committees have closely monitored new builds in the area to ensure that a certain quality, class, and charm are considered with any new development.
