Welcome to Moore Park
Neighbourhood Description
Moore Park, located just a few blocks from the busy flow of traffic at Yonge and St Clair, is an oasis in the city. Everything slows down here, the noise of traffic disappears; shady trees, attractive gardens and beautiful homes appear thoughout this lovely neighbourhood.
Unexpected green space in the heart of the city is the greatest surprise here in this central Toronto neighbourhood. Of course, there are the traditional parks, tennis courts, and children’s play areas. However, in addition there are the two beautiful wooded ravines that border the neighbourhood as well as Mt Pleasant Cemetery with its maze of walking paths, beautiful gardens and mature trees. Other great assets are the bicycle and walking routes and the nearby Belt Line connection to pathways that cross the city.
Moore Park, one of Toronto’s prime neighbourhoods, is sought after because of its beautiful homes and surrounding landscape, its proximity to downtown and to excellent schools. Strong community involvement and the wide variety of services and shopping offered nearby, particularly at Yonge Street and St Clair, on Mt Pleasant Road, and on Bayview Avenue make this one of Toronto’s most desirable communities.
