Humewood-Cedarvale
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Humewood, Cedarvale
At a quick glance, Humewood, which occupies the southern half of this district, looks ordinary: the houses and multiplexes close to St. Clair tend to be standardbred and post-war and, as in many mid-town districts, become more desirable as one moves north. In this case, the closer you get to Cedarvale Park (the vast and hilly ravine under the Bathurst Bridge), the grander the homes. But there are unusual features not to be missed. Just above the thoroughfare of Vaughan Road, Connaught Circle is an unusual piece of urban design, a charming roundabout connected to a brief strip of boulevard, the kind of planning that gives a sense of style to all the houses around it (which are substantially grander than their neighbours). At the top of the circle, sprouting out from handsome Heathdale Road, is one of the last remaining wooden pedestrian bridges in the city; it spans a stretch of ravine and leads to similarly handsome Cedarvale, which occupies the northern portion of this district. Developers once imagined that this neighbourhood would become an exclusive section of town, like nearby Wychwood Park. Instead, many of the grand old houses from early in the century were transformed into comfortable fourplexes. Recent years have seen signs of an upswing, though, as buyers are attracted by the quiet streets and good schools nearby.
