Why we like it
Home of the Wychwood Barns, Wychwood Park and possibly lucky you. The neighbourhood consists of Bracondale Hill and Hillcrest but the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) has lumped them all together with the exclusive enclave of homes known as Wychwood Park. There’s an artsy, funky vibe here mixing with some stunning million dollar homes. The results are a neighbourhood you’ll fall for. And we don’t just mean down the ravine.
