Lawrence Park North
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Teddington Park , Wanless Park
Formerly known as the neighbourhoods of Teddington Park and Wanless Park, Lawrence Park North is still one of the city’s most exclusive districts, a distinction that goes back to 1912, when businessmen Robert Dack and Nicholas Garland first floated the idea of a subdivision at what was then the city’s northern extreme. They correctly anticipated that the recently relocated Rosedale Golf Club at the neighbourhood’s eastern border would draw discerning homeowners. Those first residents, who moved onto Riverview Drive (with a view of the Don), looked to England for architectural inspiration, erecting Tudor- and Gothic-style homes. Closer to Yonge, housing stock is a mixed bag of Georgian and Victorian. A general rule can be applied to properties in the area: the closer one gets to the fairways, the larger the houses and the more elaborate the topiaries. Tied to that truth is another: the mighty swings in average sale price from year to year do not reflect market forces at work. The sale of one or more of the area’s million-dollar-plus homes in any given year skews the stats.
