Are you thinking of stepping up to the lap of luxury in your next home? Toronto and the surrounding GTA offer a wide selection of world-class living options. Many homes have been carefully curated to meet the needs of the diverse culture of the city with unique qualities and grand stature. Whether you’re looking for a penthouse condo, a beautiful property in the suburbs, or a country estate home, there are many properties available for sale across the Greater Toronto Area.
Toronto Luxury Neighbourhoods
The most exclusive enclaves in Toronto include Rosedale, Foresthill, Yorkville, Hoggs Hollow, Lawrence Park, St. Andrew’s / York Mills, Baby Point, and the Kingsway. These areas offer exclusive executive enclaves with spectacular custom-built residences surrounded by beautiful parks nearby. There are many high-end shopping malls and fine-dining restaurants in the immediate area as well. When it comes to luxury condos and penthouse living, you can’t beat the downtown core with many residential styles to choose from.
From bankers and captains of industry to tech denizens and globe-trotting jet setters, Toronto offers a unique blend of homes ranging from modern and sophisticated to stately historical homes dating back to before the Victorian era. When you step inside, your jaw will drop at the amount of space and the potential of customizing these homes specifically to your preference.
North of Toronto Luxury Neighbourhoods
If you head straight up the highway a little north of Toronto, there are many estate lots with acreage to choose from. These are fashionable communities such as Rural Markham / Angus Glen, outside of Stouffville, Unionville, and the King City area. There are also several equine-friendly estates located just outside of Newmarket and Aurora for the horse-and-pony crowd. Whether you want ample acres of property for your growing family or a quaint-size lot, these neighbourhoods are stunning. Indulge in the exclusivity of the country yet be close enough to the city to take advantage of all the action in downtown Toronto.
West of Toronto Luxury Neighbourhoods
A little jaunt to the west of Toronto is where you’ll find notable enclaves including Oakville, Lorne Park, Clarkson, and Bronte. If you travel a little further west, you’ll discover Waterdown, Burlington, and Ancaster. With immaculate neighbourhoods, these cities are fantastic places to live and have the added benefit of nearby GO Train Stations – providing easy access to major urban centres without the hassle of sitting in traffic.
East of Toronto Luxury Neighbourhoods
Heading in the opposite direction to the east, you will discover that the Rouge Valley and Uxbridge offer a beautiful selection of statuesque homes. Moving further east, the neighbourhoods of Vanier and Lakeview in Oshawa, Rose-bank / Rougemount in Pickering, and Courtice in Clarington offer family living with upscale options.
Close to Toronto but, Outside the GTA
For those wishing to truly get away from it all, Southern Ontario’s cottage country offers a wide range of options from the sunbaked shores of Lake Huron, to wine country in both Niagara-on-the-Lake and Prince Edward County, as well as Canada’s answer to the Hamptons in the Muskoka Lakes Region. These areas are home to those who work from home, cottage lovers, and families who want to enjoy smaller communities close to nature.
