North York sits between downtown Toronto’s intensity and York Region’s suburban markets — and carries characteristics of both. It also holds one of the largest Persian communities in North America, concentrated around Yonge and Finch.
Areas covered: Willowdale, Yonge & Sheppard, Bayview Village, Yonge & Finch, Don Mills, York Mills.
