The guide
The Full Yorkville Guide
History
Yorkville was founded during the 1830s, and was initially developed as an exclusive residential suburb of Toronto. Two prominent Torontonians of the era, Joseph Bloore and William Botsford Jarvis, played major roles in its establishment and early history. Today, major Toronto streets are named after these pioneers. Yorkville existed as an independent village until the 1880s, until it was annexed into Toronto in 1883.

Though Yorkville was a counterculture hotspot during the 1960s, it also began its transition into an exclusive shopping district during this time. The opening of the Bloor-Danforth subway line sent real estate values along Bloor Street skyrocketing, and by the 1970s, Yorkville was firmly entrenched as Toronto’s ritziest retail corridor.
Real Estate Options
As a truly cosmopolitan neighbourhood, Yorkville features a wide range of real estate options. Most detached and semi-detached homes in the district date to the late 19th century, with many being included on the Toronto Historical Board’s definitive inventory of heritage properties. The neighbourhood’s older homes are mostly built in the Victorian architectural style, and feature exterior design elements such as decorative wrought-iron fencing, elaborately patterned brickwork, elegant gables, and generously sized yards and gardens.

Yorkville has also seen a recent uptick in new development. A limited number of townhouses are available in the area, and upmarket condominiums are also present in growing numbers. Though Yorkville prizes its historic character, the neighbourhood tends to be more welcoming to newer buildings than many other elite districts of central Toronto.
Shopping in Yorkville
Yorkville is famous for its shopping with the upscale Holt Renfrew department store on Bloor Street anchoring dozens of other specialty fashion and lifestyle boutiques, jewelry stores, antique shops, home furnishing retailers, and more.

Ramsden Park and the Village of Yorkville Park are the district’s two primary green spaces. Featuring four tennis courts, a children’s play area, and a skating rink, Ramsden Park is a great place for family outings. The Village of Yorkville Park is an award-winning example of landscape architecture, featuring design elements inspired by both local and Canadian history. It also features a 650-tonne rock from the Canadian Shield, which is estimated to be about one billion years old.
