THANK YOU FOR VIEWING OUR LUXURY LISTINGS

It makes sense that finding the best neighbourhood to suit you and your family is one of your top priorities when shopping for a new home.

The Edenbridge – Humber Valley area is great for all kinds of households, but families are the largest group. Families with children in the area tend to have 1 child at home, with a large percentage of young children.

Your Backyard awaits you…….

Humber Valley Village is an upper middle-income family oriented neighbourhood. Its distinctive rolling topography, curvilinear streets and abundance of mature trees are a byproduct of the Humber River Valley Ravine which forms the eastern boundary of this neighbourhood.

The two dominant geographical landmarks in Humber Valley Village are the St. George’s Golf and Country Club which stretches across Islington Avenue, and James Gardens – a picturesque strolling garden located along the banks of the Humber River Valley.

Stanley Thompson (1893-1953) was one of five brothers (Nicol, Bill, Matt, Stanley, Frank) born in Toronto’s east end, who became leading Canadian golfers in the 1920s. Heralded as “The Amazing Thompsons”, Stanley was considered by some to be the finest golfer of the five and led the qualifying round for the Canadian Amateur in 1924.

Between 1920 and 1953 he designed, remodeled, or constructed 145 golf courses in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. Some of his most celebrated works include Highlands Links (Nova Scotia), Banff and Jasper (Alberta), St. George’s (Toronto), and Capilano (Vancouver).
