Lytton Park

The Details

Thanks to its quiet charm, beautiful homes on large lots, mature tree canopy, outstanding recreational facilities and close proximity to excellent public and private schools, Lytton Park is one of Toronto’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Architecture/Homes

Lytton Park features beautiful Georgian, Colonial, American Foursquare, Victorian and Tudor style homes that were built mostly between 1920 and 1945. Most lots are 40 or 50 feet wide with varying depths. Almost all the houses are detached and most have garages.

Amenities

Lytton Park is a pedestrian friendly neighbourhood with convenient access to amenities on Yonge Street, Avenue Road and Eglinton Avenue. The John Ross Robertson school playing field is a hub for community activities. Glenview Public School is a popular venue for tobogganing in winter and children’s camps in the summer. The Lawrence Park Collegiate playing fields and running track are used year round by the community.

Lytton Park, the park from which this neighbourhood takes its name, is nestled in a deep valley, hidden from the traffic of Avenue Road above by trees. This serene park includes three public tennis courts, and is also home to the North Toronto Lawn Bowling Club. Across from Lytton Park is the Herbert Begg Memorial Garden. This picturesque strolling garden was donated to the City by Herbert Begg’s daughters as a memorial to their father.

Getting Around

Highway 401 is just five minutes north of the neighbourhood and both the Eglinton and Lawrence subway stations, located on Yonge Street, are within walking distance of many Lytton Park houses. Yonge street and Avenue Road both have bus routes that connect to the Yonge subway line.
