Forest Hill

Originally incorporated as a village in 1923, and later annexed by the City of Toronto in 1967, along with the Village of Swansea. The village was named after the summer home of John Wickson; previously it had been known as Spadina Heights (a name that continued to be applied to the neighbourhood into the twentieth century).

Its original boundaries were Bathurst Street to the west, Upper Canada College to the east, Eglinton Avenue to the north, and Lonsdale Road and a portion of Montclair Avenue to the south (the original boundaries of School Section 30). Neighbourhoods North of Eglinton Avenue and West of Bathurst St are known as Upper Forest Hill.

Today Forest Hill is considered one of the most desirable residential neighbourhoods in Toronto and is rivaled only by Rosedale.

Forest Hill's Public School System is excellent and their Private Schools ( Upper Canada College for boys and Bishop Strachan School for girls) are considered two of the best private schools in Canada.

Forest Hill Homes are located on tree lined streets and are elegant, charming and in many cases considered mansions.

Upper forest Hill homes were built in the 1940's and the 1950's and in most cases built to contemporary style and generally less expensive than those in the Lower Village.
