Toronto's Most Distinctive Ravine-Bordered Enclave
Moore Park traces its origins to the 1880s, when John Thomas Moore — a successful entrepreneur, statesman and politician — envisioned an exclusive subdivision on the lands north of Rosedale. Central to his plan was the construction of the Moore Park station of the Belt Line Railway during the 1890s, which he correctly anticipated would attract wealthy would-be landowners to the area. By the turn of the century, the subdivision was experiencing a developmental boom that would carry through the 1930s, by which time the neighbourhood had evolved into one of Toronto's most prosperous and refined districts. Today, Moore Park is situated north of Rosedale, east of Deer Park, south of Davisville, and west of Bennington Heights — uniquely bordered on all sides by nature and green spaces. The neighbourhood is celebrated for its stately English Cottage, Edwardian, Georgian, and Tudor Revival homes, a remarkable ravine system including Moore Park Ravine and the Vale of Avoca, proximity to Toronto's top public and private schools, and a community that has held one of the highest average household incomes of any district in Toronto. If you're exploring a move to Moore Park — you're considering a neighbourhood that rewards long-term thinking: quiet, quaint, and peaceful, yet convenient and central. It feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city despite delivering unmatched connectivity to the rest of Toronto, and its character as one of the city's most exclusive districts has held for well over a century."Moore Park is unique among Midtown Toronto's prestige neighbourhoods — it is genuinely bordered on all sides by ravines, parkland, and green space, yet sits minutes from downtown. That combination of natural serenity and urban convenience is extraordinarily rare, and the demand it generates has never wavered."
— Jethro Seymour, Seymour Real Estate The Neighbourhood
What Makes Moore Park Distinct
🌿 Parks, Ravines & Green Space Moore Park is defined, above all else, by its green space — it is uniquely bordered on all sides by nature. Moore Park Ravine is home to a wealth of wildlife and features an 8-kilometre trail winding through the gorges, following a tributary of the Don River into Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the neighbouring Rosedale Ravine. Toronto's iconic Mount Pleasant Cemetery abuts the entire northern boundary of the neighbourhood. The historic Canadian Pacific Railway tracks — now part of the Belt Line Trail — run along its southern edge. Ravines extend off both eastern and western sides, as Moore Park lies between the Vale of Avoca and Moore Park Ravines. Historic Chorley Park offers scenic views of the Don River Valley, while David A. Balfour Park extends along the neighbourhood's south-western edge with a diverse natural spectacle of ash and maple groves and well-maintained walking paths. The Don Valley Brick Works (Evergreen Brick Works) is also located nearby, with trails, ponds, and unspoiled green spaces. Moorevale Park provides five tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a children's splash pool.
🏡 Architectural Character & Heritage Homes When Moore Park was developed in the early decades of the 20th century, the English Cottage, Edwardian, Georgian, and Tudor Revival architectural styles were very much in vogue among the wealthy. These styles dominate the neighbourhood today — most of the homes that still stand were built between 1905 and 1930. The quintessential Moore Park home is a two-storey detached brick house set on a lot that, while somewhat smaller than those seen in other Midtown districts, often backs onto ravines and parkland to deliver exceptional privacy and serenity. Some homes share driveways, with street parking ample and readily available. Semi-detached homes and condominiums are rare, a structural reality that continues to underpin long-term value. In the northern reaches of Moore Park, recently built duplexes and townhomes provide more accessible entry points into this coveted enclave.
🚇 Transit & Connectivity Moore Park offers strong transit access for a neighbourhood of its tranquil, residential character. TTC buses run along three main roads: St. Clair Avenue East, Moore Avenue, and Mount Pleasant Road. Westbound buses on St. Clair Avenue connect with the 512 streetcar route and the St. Clair subway station, while the Rosedale and Summerhill TTC subway stations are both located approximately one kilometre from the heart of Moore Park. By car, motorists enjoy convenient access to both the Don Valley Parkway and the Bayview Extension via Moore Avenue. Moore Park is approximately 20 minutes from entryways to Highways 401 and 404, with easy connections to the 400 and the 407 Express Toll Route. Downtown Toronto is typically reachable within 15 to 20 minutes under average conditions.
🛍️ Shopping & Neighbourhood Amenities Two excellent shopping districts are popular with Moore Park residents: the intersection of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue, and the Davisville and Mount Pleasant corridor. Both offer an extensive collection of clothing and jewellery boutiques, gourmet food stores, cafes, and home retailers. The St. Clair Centre at 12 St. Clair Avenue East houses dozens of retail shops alongside drugstores, quick-service eateries, juice bars, and coffee shops. Those in the south-eastern corner of Moore Park are also close to the exclusive collection of shops concentrated on Summerhill Avenue — including All The Best Fine Foods, Pisces Gourmet, Patachou Patisserie, Harvest Wagon, and Olliffe Meats. General practitioners, paediatricians, dentists, and medical specialists are concentrated around the Yonge–St. Clair and Davisville–Mount Pleasant districts. The Deer Park Branch of the Toronto Public Library at 40 St. Clair Avenue East offers an extensive permanent collection and ongoing arts and education programs. Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is conveniently accessible in adjacent Leaside.
🏫 Schools & Family Life Education is a cornerstone of Moore Park's appeal. Northern Secondary School on Mount Pleasant Road and North Toronto Collegiate Institute on Broadway Avenue provide strong public high school options in close proximity. Public Schools

🏒 Recreation & Community Life Moore Park's community life is anchored by Mooredale House community centre, a focal point of local life offering year-round sports activities, fitness classes, and arts and crafts. During the summer, Mooredale House hosts a day camp for local children, and each May it presents Mayfair — an outdoor carnival with rides, games, and fun for the whole family. The neighbourhood's ravine trail network provides a living amenity directly at residents' doorsteps, with the 8-kilometre Moore Park Ravine trail being a favourite for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Moorevale Park provides five tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a children's splash pool. Given its central location in one of the world's most multicultural cities, dining options abound — gastro pubs, continental cuisine, and a diverse range of ethnic restaurants concentrated along the Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue corridors. Moore Park's consistent appeal to young to middle-aged working professionals and families reflects a genuinely community-oriented neighbourhood where deep roots and high standards of living coexist naturally.

For Current Homeowners
What the Market Means For You
Moore Park homeowners continue to benefit from one of Canada's most structurally sound real estate markets. The neighbourhood's combination of exceptional natural setting — bordered on all sides by ravines and green space — heritage architecture, proximity to top public and private schools, and strong transit connectivity creates enduring demand that has supported values across every market cycle for over a century. Why Moore Park Holds Its Value Moore Park's structural scarcity is unique in Toronto: ravines and greenspace border the neighbourhood on all sides, creating an absolute ceiling on residential supply that no amount of demand can overcome. The overwhelmingly detached streetscape — shaped by the English Cottage, Georgian, and Tudor Revival tradition of the early 20th century — has remained intact for over 100 years. Semi-detached homes and condominiums are rare, and no new residential land exists to develop. The neighbourhood has long held one of the highest average household incomes of any district in Toronto, and the deep, consistent buyer demand that reflects this distinction has never wavered. With January 2026 prices up 8.1% year-over-year and 16-day average days on market confirming buyer urgency, Moore Park's long-term trajectory remains firmly compelling.
