Mount Pleasant West
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
South Eglinton, Sherwood Park
This district stitches together portions of two traditional city neighbourhoods: the eastern half of Sherwood Park occupies the district’s north end, and the western half of South Eglinton occupies the south. If you chart the progress of Sherwood Park over recent decades—a transformation from low to high density—you begin to understand the steadily growing need for conveniently located Toronto residences and the intense pressure on development. In living memory, this district was an ordinary example of one-house-per-family Toronto; today, it takes its character from duplexes, multiplexes and apartment buildings both unassuming and gigantic in proportion. South Eglinton is an economically more modest area than its nearest neighbours (such as Chaplin Estates and Deer Park), but it’s conveniently located, rich in recreation spaces and close to good schools.
