Welcome To Moore Park
Moore Park is one of Toronto’s quietest and most private old-money neighbourhoods, a leafy grid on both sides of St Clair Avenue East wrapped almost entirely by ravine. It was planned in the 1890s by developer John T. Moore, who built the bridges that made it possible, and it has stayed remarkably intact: large brick and stone family homes, wide streets, mature canopy, and no through-traffic to speak of because the ravines cut it off on nearly every side.
That isolation is the whole appeal. You get one of the best walk-to-nature settings in the city, with the Moore Park and Rosedale ravines, Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the old Brick Works all on foot, and a location that is still minutes from midtown. What you do not get is a lively main street of your own… for that you walk to Yonge & St Clair or over to Mount Pleasant.

Moore Park FAQs
As a rough guide: the large detached family homes that define the area generally start around $2.5M and climb past $5M on the premier streets and ravine lots; the smaller number of semis tend to run roughly $1.8M to $2.5M; and the handful of condos near St Clair and Yonge range from around $700K to well over $1.2M. See the live statistics block below for the current quarter’s exact figures, or browse current Moore Park listings.
It sits along St Clair East between the Vale of Avoca ravine and the Moore Park ravine, bordering Rosedale to the west and Deer Park across Yonge, with Summerhill a short walk south.
If you want a large house, ravine trails at the end of your street and near-total quiet, all a short hop from midtown, it is one of the best in the city. If you want walkable nightlife and shops at your door, it will feel sleepy.
Yes, and it is one of the reasons people buy here. Big houses, safe quiet streets, ravine parks and access to some of the city’s strongest public and private schools, including Whitney and Deer Park nearby.
Easy. St Clair station on Line 1 is a short walk and puts you downtown in about 15 to 20 minutes, with the St Clair streetcar for east-west trips.
Not for residents. Most homes have private drives and garages. The only pinch is on the St Clair and Yonge retail strips.
Around the Neighbourhood
Cultural landmarks: Mount Pleasant Cemetery, a designated heritage site and one of the great Victorian garden cemeteries in North America, forms the neighbourhood’s northern edge and doubles as a walking and cycling green.
Hot local spots: the shopping and dining are a short walk away at Yonge & St Clair and on Mount Pleasant, where Summerhill Market has been the go-to grocer and prepared-food counter for over 50 years, alongside the cafes and restaurants of the reviving St Clair strip.
Parks & green space: the Moore Park Ravine and Vale of Avoca trails run right off the neighbourhood’s streets, linking through to the Rosedale ravine, Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Evergreen Brick Works.
Your Typical Neighbour
Moore Park is established, affluent and family-heavy in an older sense, professionals, executives and long-tenured families in big houses, with a strong contingent of empty-nesters who raised their kids here and stayed. Incomes, education levels and home-ownership rates all sit well above the city average, and the housing is overwhelmingly single-family rather than rental. It is one of the quieter, greyer, more settled corners of midtown, and residents like it precisely for that.

What We Love
The ravine, first and always. Very few Toronto neighbourhoods let you step off your street straight onto a forest trail, and Moore Park does it on nearly every side, linking through to the Brick Works and the wider Don system. Add big, dignified family houses on wide lots, an unusually quiet and safe grid with no cut-through traffic, strong schools, and a short walk or one subway stop to midtown, and you have a rare combination of nature, space and central location.
What We Don’t Love
It is expensive and it is quiet to the point of being insular. Entry prices are high, so this is a settle-in neighbourhood, not a starter one. The same ravines that make it beautiful also box it in, so it can feel cut off, and it has no real commercial heart of its own… every coffee, every dinner out is a walk to St Clair, Yonge or Mount Pleasant. Lovely, but not lively.
Real Estate
Moore Park is a detached-house neighbourhood of large Edwardian and period brick and stone homes on wide, deep lots, many backing onto or overlooking ravine. Semis and townhouses exist but are the minority, and condos are limited to a few buildings near St Clair and Yonge. Inventory is thin, homes are tightly held across generations, and ravine-backing lots command a clear premium. This is a market you buy into for the long haul. New to the market?

Transit
St Clair station on Line 1 is a short walk from most of the neighbourhood and puts downtown roughly 15 to 20 minutes away, with the 512 St Clair streetcar handling east-west trips and buses filling in. Drivers reach the Don Valley Parkway quickly via Bayview and the ravine roads. Most homes have private parking, so a car is a convenience here rather than a necessity.
