About 12 Highland Hill

Speaking of durability, 12 Highland boasts a brand new roof.

About Lawrence Heights

Aerial photo of suburban Lawrence Heights neighbourhood in North York, Toronto.
Residents are steps away from two major shopping centres.

12 Highland Hill is located in North York’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood, which is part of the greater Yorkdale-Glen Park neighbourhood.

According to TorontoLife:

The name says it all: retail offerings in this area are nothing to shake a Zara bag at. Aside from the mall, affordable homes make Yorkdale-Glen Park a promising draw, along with plentiful medical care, accessible transit and a robust sense of community…

The mall being referred to is the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, an 11-minute walk from Highland Hill.

Besides being Canada’s third largest mall, Yorkdale is home to over 270 stores, including the country’s largest collection of designer labels.

Looking for something closer?

The Lawrence Allen Centre—one of the city’s biggest malls– is only a 2-minute walk from home.

Unlike Yorkdale, which focuses on luxury brands, Lawrence Allen contains a Fortinos, Dollarama, Marshalls, Canadian Tire and more.

It also has everyday services like hair salons, banks, dentists and a Tim Horton’s (Ricardo Zappala, Flickr).

Lawrence Heights is also a great place to raise kids of all ages.

For example, it’s surrounded by several fantastic private, public, specialty and post-secondary schools.

These include Flemington Elementary, Lawrence Heights Middle School, Yorkdale Secondary School and Medix College.

Other Location Highlights

  • Steps from Yorkdale Park, Wenderly Park & Lawrence Heights Park
  • Minutes from several Italian, Greek, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian & Mexican restaurants
  • Within walking distance of every major bank, including TD, BMO, RBC, CIBC & Scotiabank
