LYTTON PARK NEIGHBOURHOOD

History

Originally, Lytton Park was mostly farmland, with the exception of a limited number of noteworthy country estates, lying North of Toronto. A residential ‘boom’ began in 1888 and by 1912 many homes, schools, churches and parks had been developed. Soon after, the area became a recognized neighbourhood of the City of Toronto.

Homes, Shopping and Recreation

Lytton Park is one of the most desirable locations to live in the city of Toronto.

Many of the homes in Lytton Park predominantly feature traditional Georgian and Tudor Style architecture and are situated on large lots which feature lush, well maintained lawns and gardens. Throughout the area there is an abundance of mature trees which line the streets and contribute to the elegance of the neighbourhood. In recent years, many homes in the Lytton Park area have been subject to extensive renovations or have been torn down and rebuilt, thereby transforming the original architecture to an upscale, urban neighbourhood where many professionals take pleasure in calling it their home.

Residents  can enjoy the many natural surroundings and recreational benefits of Lytton Park, Otter Creek Park, the Herbert Begg Gardens and the Chatsworth Ravine. Features of Lytton Park include tennis courts, a lawn bowling club and of course, a children’s playground.

The younger residents of Lytton Park will benefit from some of the best schools (both public and private) in Toronto. Within the boundaries are two schools which provide excellent academic curricula: John Ross Robertson Public School and Havergal College for girls. The Glendon College Campus of York University is only minutes away to the east.

With quick access to the TTC and to major transportation routes, downtown Toronto and Highway 401 can also be considered close by.

Unique, chic shopping along Yonge Street, Avenue Road, Lawrence Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West are immediately available for this upscale neighbourhood.

Lytton Park is surely one of the most desirable locations to live in the city of Toronto.
