Rosedale is known as one of Canada’s most prestigious neighbourhoods for over a century. Rosedale real estate has an “Old Money” reputation.

Surrounded by parkland ravines and an abundance of foliage, its serenity is protected from the sounds of the city and its traffic. It shares this advantage with Moore Park, which is also encompassed by natural barriers.

With winding streets lined with mature trees, beautiful green spaces and highly regarded schools in the vicinity, Moore Park and Rosedale are two of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Toronto. While only a few minutes from the downtown core, homes in these neighbourhoods are a world away from the bustle of the city.
