Riverdale

The Details

The gateway to Toronto’s east-end neighbourhoods, Riverdale is a large and diverse community especially well-known for its colourful shopping districts and quaint Victorian homes. It’s a high-density urban area that’s also blessed with an abundance of parkland, where one can escape the hustle and bustle of big-city living—Riverdale Park is one of the largest green spaces in the city (its steep hills are a favourite of tobogganers) and Withrow Park is a neighbourhood hub with a popular farmers’ market. Families come to Riverdale for its top schools, great shopping and convenient access to the TTC.

Architecture / Homes

Riverdale is large, so you’ll find many different house styles here: completely renovated bungalows sit next to historic, multi-storey homes. Variety is the name of this neighbourhood’s game, which is why it’s so popular for families making the move.
