    About Forest Hill real estate

    Are you looking for a real estate investment in Toronto? Forest Hill homes for sale provide an opportunity to invest in one of the most historic, upscale residential areas in all of Canada. 

    Once its own village, located just north of downtown Toronto, Forest Hill amalgamated with the city in 1967, retaining the name Forest Hill as a neighborhood. Among the likes of The Kingsway, Rosedale, and The Bridle Path, Forest Hill is one of Toronto’s most affluent and exclusive neighborhoods. After taking one look at some of the Forest Hill homes we have for sale, you will truly be amazed at how unique each property is.

    Forest Hill was originally named for the summer home of John Wickson, built in 1860 at Eglinton Avenue and Old Forest Hill Road. Once called Spadina Heights, derived from the Ojibwe word ishapadenah, meaning hill or rise in the land, at the time, this village was run by a municipal officer rather than a mayor. In the late 1960s, the City of Toronto decided to construct a highway that would support bisection Forest Hill that would ultimately lead to the demolition of many of the original houses. Wanting to protect their beloved neighborhood and homes, this leads to residents protesting the highway expansion, and in effect, raising awareness of the beauty and history of this area to the greater public.
