Around the Block
Humber Summit:

A close-knit, multicultural pocket of north Toronto with deep mill town roots.

Bordered by Steeles Avenue, Highway 400, Finch Avenue, and the Humber River, Humber Summit grew from a 1840s pioneer settlement into one of North York's most established residential neighbourhoods. Humber Summit homes for sale and Humber Summit homes for rent are popular with families looking for ravine views, larger lots, and a strong community feel.


What to Expect:

A suburban-feeling neighbourhood inside the city, with mid-century housing stock and ravine streets.

Most homes are semi-detached backsplits and detached houses built in the 1950s and 1960s, often with built-in garages, cast iron railings, and decorative front archways. Newer custom-built homes and a handful of cottage-style properties along the river add variety.


The Lifestyle:

An outdoor-friendly lifestyle anchored by the Humber River valley and the surrounding parks.

Rowntree Mills Park, a 92-hectare green space along the Humber, the West Humber Parkland trail, and the Humber Arboretum give residents extensive room to walk, hike, and cycle. The Humber Summit and Finchdale areas offer local libraries, community centres, and shopping along Islington and Finch.

Unexpected Appeal:

One of the few Toronto neighbourhoods that began as a cottage resort in the early twentieth century.

Known originally as Riverbend Park, Humber Summit attracted Toronto residents who built summer cottages along the banks of the Humber. Hurricane Hazel changed the area's shape in 1954, and the community evolved into the residential neighbourhood it is today, anchored by the Emery Village BIA, the Pine Ridge Cemetery, and the Humber Summit branch of the Toronto Public Library.



The Market:

A relatively affordable entry into the Toronto market for established detached and semi-detached homes.
