THE STATS (Scored out of 100)
Few homes offer a better—or more expensive—view of Toronto than those on the lip of Riverdale Park East, this lush ’hood’s majestic centrepiece, with soccer fields, tennis courts, a track and a swimming pool. Riverdalers are obsessed with their turf, and for good reason: there are buzzy restaurants along the Danforth, shopping deals galore on Gerrard and great schools, both public (Withrow Avenue) and private (Montcrest). Residents may have recently fumed about never-ending shoots for the film It at a decrepit mansion on Pape, but most of the area’s semis are quiet, well kept and clown free.
