Moore Park is surrounded on all sides by natural barriers. To the north is the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, to the south is the Park Drive Ravine and the railway tracks, to the east is the Moore Park Ravine and to the west is the Vale of Avoca Ravine.With so much nature at its doorstep, it is not surprising that Moore Park is one of Toronto’s most sought after neighbourhoods. Moore Park includes primarily English Cottage, Georgian, and Tudor-style houses built between 1908 and 1930. There are also a fair number of townhouses built in the 1970s and 1980s and a growing number of new custom homes.Moore Park lots vary in size but are generally quite large. Fifty foot frontages are the norm on the more exclusive streets. The streets are lined with a mature tree canopy and many of the houses back onto one of the ravines that skirt this neighbourhood.The combination of outstanding architecture and pretty greenspace make Moore Park one of Toronto’s most beautiful neighbourhoods. Moore Park also contains many newer townhouses as well as a fair number of duplex and multiplex homes. For such a high end neighbourhood it is somewhat surprising that many of the houses have shared rather than private driveways. However, the streets are so quiet and uncluttered that parking is not a problem.
