In its midst stand two of the most recognized private schools in the country, Bishop Strachan for young females and Upper Canada College for young males. What makes this part of Toronto special is that there are very few sidewalks. The landscape in Forest Hill is also important — not just as scenery –but because it is closely linked to the idea of a stately neighbourhood that people aspire to live in.
Location
The boundaries of Lower Forest Hill are Avenue Road to the east, Bathurst Street to the west, St. Clair Avenue to the south, and Eglinton Avenue and Chaplin Crescent to the north. Forest Hill real estate has a harmonious mix of beautifully crafted, luxurious mansions built in different architectural styles, from traditional Tudor to Gregorian houses. Even though much of the Forest Hill real estate has been renovated or replaced with modern residences, it still preserves its original charm. Terracotta-tiled French Colonial houses, English country manors, and the occasional ultra-modern condominium complex are quite common in the area as well.

Parks
Cedarvale Park
WebsiteOne of Forest Hill, Toronto’s biggest parks, Cedarvale Park spreads over 35.7 acres of land and creates the natural border between the posh Cedarvale neighbourhood to the north and the trendy neighbourhood of Hillcrest to the south. Cut diagonally by the Cedarvale Ravine, this beautiful green oasis is used for many forms of recreation. With more than enough space for multiple teams on the many playing fields and soccer pitches, there is also the Phil White Arena and tennis courts in the nearby community centre. The latest addition to the recreational activities in the park is the enclosed off-leash area for dogs. The meadow has been converted to a wetland habitat that provides the perfect conditions for local ecosystems.
Sir Winston Churchill Park
WebsiteSir Winston Churchill Park is located at the southeast corner of Spadina Road and St. Clair Avenue. If running is your thing, this park offers a popular jogging route of a little less than two miles, which starts on Spadina with a number of stairs to test your fitness. Running down the gravel path, you pass along a big fenced-in dog park, a busy tennis court, and a little playground. Wrapping all around the park is the Nordheimer Ravine, which offers some quality picnic spots and a rustic wood path for a lovely walk.
Beltline Trail
WebsiteBeltline Trail is a 14.4-kilometre track that passes through Forest Hill on its way down to Rosedale. It offers the perfect chance to see a little natural beauty in the very heart of the city. It follows the route of the Beltline Railway, Toronto’s first commuter rail line, built in the 1800s.
