Playter Estates

Playter Estates is an area in the east end of Toronto, Ontario, Canada bounded by Jackman Avenue to the east, the Don River Valley to the west, Danforth Avenue in the south, and Fulton Avenue in the north. The neighbourhood is built on land once owned by the Playter family for whom two streets in the area are named. The old farmhouse of the Playter household at 28 Playter Crescent is now the Playter Mansion, which is often used for various films, television shows, and commercials.

THE STATS (scored our of 100)

This mostly residential area borders Danforth and North Riverdale and offers many of the same benefits as its cousins: great food, instant transit access and stellar views of the core, at least from the houses and apartment towers that overlook the Don Valley. It also has its own perks (a plethora of doctors’ offices, clinics and mental health services) and pitfalls (a low rate of home ownership and a decrease in year-over-year housing prices). The score suffers from a dearth of public space, but a five-minute walk to Riverdale Park can easily solve that problem.
