When it was first developed in the early part of the last century, Lawrence Park was billed as an aristocratic neighbourhood, set high up and far back from the cold winds of Lake Ontario.

Rising up through a canopy of green, high on a hill above Toronto’s waterfront, the original vision that developers had for Lawrence Park can still be seen today; a rarefied neighbourhood of luxury homes in a parkland setting from which you and your family can enjoy the pleasures of life.
Bordered on the west by the charming shops and restaurants of the Yonge-Lawrence Village corridor, you will have easy access from this exclusive neighbourhood to the comforts of urban amenities. At the end of your excursions you will be happy to retreat from the urban bustle to your gracious period home in this luxurious residential community filled with opportunities for sports and recreation for all ages.
