Moore Park (C09)
Moore Park is a quiet, pretty neighbourhood . Located in the St. Clair Ave. and Mount Pleasant area, it is bordered by ravines, beautiful parkland and Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
Tudor and Georgian style houses are situated on large, nicely landscaped lots. The area has a number of duplexes and triplexes; newer townhouses have also been built recently. Most houses in the area date from 1903 to 1930.
Initially planned in 1889 as a suburb for the very wealthy, Moore Park was created by John Thomas Moore, who also founded Toronto’s first commuter train, the Belt Line Railway.
Moore Park has more green space than any other neighbourhood in central Toronto. A wonderful ravine system borders a significant portion of the neighbourhood. No home is further than a five-minute walk away from an unspoiled natural space, many homes back directly onto lushly forested ravines.
Shopping is close by at Yonge and St. Clair or at Mount Pleasant and Davisville. And with all the parkland in the surrounding area, recreational opportunities abound. Moore Park Ravine has an 8 km footpath that traverses the Rosedale Ravine, Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Don Valley brickworks. In Moore Park, you will find a baseball diamond, tennis courts and a wading pool.
Getting around is convenient, too. The St. Clair subway station is within walking distance of most homes, and drivers have easy access to the Don Valley Parkway.
