Originally, Toronto’s wealthiest and most prominent families established country estates in Summerhill since this elevated enclave was prized for both its views of the city and its healthier atmosphere. Today, Summerhill's charming brick facades, winding tree-lined streets and abundance of parkland, including the Rosehill Reservoir Park and David A. Balfour Park, have made it one of Toronto's most preferred neighbourhoods. Residents are within walking distance to the many boutique shops and restaurants centered around Yonge Street and Summerhill Avenue. The Summerhill Subway Station provides easy access along the Yonge Street corridor to Toronto's downtown business and entertainment districts.
