High Park North, Toronto

High Park North, often known as High Park, is a neighborhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Bloor Street, Runnymede Road, Annette Street, Quebec Avenue, and Humberside Avenue are the streets that border it.

High Park North is mostly a residential neighborhood, with numerous semi-detached houses erected in the early twentieth century. North of High Park, the suburb contains a number of high-rise residential complexes that were constructed following the completion of the Bloor–Danforth subway line.

Bloor Street is the primary east-west road in the city of Toronto. On this four-lane road, most of the companies are storefronts, with residential second and third floors above them on the second and third floors, respectively. Keele Street and Dundas Street are examples of north-south routes. Within the neighborhood, both are predominantly residential in nature.

Residential buildings in High Park North that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s are the most historic. The majority of them are in the Victorian, Edwardian, and Tudor styles. The residences are mainly two- and three-story masonry structures with a garage attached. Many homes are decorated with leaded and stained glass windows, wood trim, French doors, hardwood doors, and fireplaces, among other features.

The area just north of the park contains a collection of high-rise apartment complexes that date back to the 1960s and 1970s. These can be found largely on Gothic, High Park, and Quebec Avenues, among other places.

Although not on the scale as in the past, developers continue to operate in the neighbourhood because of demand for housing near High Park and the metro. On the south side of Bloor Street, on the site of a former gas station, a condominium development was constructed during the first decade of the twenty-first century. It overlooked High Park, which was built on the former bridge across Wendigo Creek and now serves as a landfill.

A block of Edwardian-era homes between Pacific and Oakmount Avenues, one block east of High Park Avenue and between Pacific and Oakmount, has been purchased for demolition. A condominium complex with a view of High Park is being built in the vicinity of the property. As was common throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a renter of one of the residences stayed while the other homes were abandoned and boarded up until their eviction in 2010. Located directly on Bloor Street, facing High Park, this is the first block of ancient homes to be demolished in order to make way for a new apartment project.
