FOREST HILL REAL ESTATE
= FOREST HILL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
Forest Hill is rich in Real Estate History:  Forest Hill was named after the summer residence of John Wickson which was built in 1860 at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Old Forest Hill Road at the north end of what is now Lower Forest Hill Real Estate. As aforementioned the Upper Forest Hill district encompasses several blocks to the north but it is the district to the south which is considered to be one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods in Toronto and of Canada.
When we look back at the history of Toronto during the latter half of the 1800`s and early 1900`s many established Families owned large tracts of Forest Hill Land.  As Toronto grew these large tracts were parceled off and in 1923 the area evolved into the community becoming the Village of Forest Hill.  To beautify the development of the area.  Homeowners were obligated to plant at least one tree in the front garden of their quality-built luxurious homes. As was the upscale trend at the time the goal was to build a Village which would rival the best in the vicinity of downtown Toronto.  An oversized property is the norm for a Forest Hill Mansion located in this premium residential neighbourhood south of Eglinton Avenue. Forest Hill Mansions in this area have price tags that exceed several million dollars.  Prestige is indeed a descriptive adjective for Forest Hill Living in Toronto.
The Village of Forest Hill kept it’s independence from the City of Toronto while neighbourhoods of the city surrounded it.  It was only in 1967 that the village was annexed to became amalgamated with the City of Toronto.
FOREST HILL ARCHITECTURE & MORE HISTORY
In the 1800`s the majority of home owners  in the Forest Hill neighbourhood originated from Britain and as such Georgian, Victorian, Romanesque, Gothic and Tudor architectural designs were imported. 
As has been witnessed throughout the various building and renovation booms, many new home owners have completed extensive renovations on the large stately properties and estates and in many cases have kept current with modern day advances in technology: e.g. home additions, both indoor swimming pools and outdoor swimming pools, fitness centers, exercise rooms, electrical and plumbing upgrades, etc. To thwart the trend to tear down these stately homes and rebuild more modern designs some Forest Hill Homes have achieved historical heritage designation and all or parts of these homes are civically protected from destruction. The existing Forest Hill Community’s concern is not so much in stifling the modernization of the existing homes but rather with the complete demolition and building new modern day designs that do not fit with the stately character which the area is renowned for.

SOME REASONS TO INVEST IN TORONTO
PUBLIC SERVICES FOR THOSE RESIDING IN FOREST HILL ... Being adjacent to the Downtown Toronto Core means that the concentration of public services are close by:  As with all of Torontonians the city’s Public Services supply basic needs: Water, Sanitation, Public Transit (although bus routes are few), Snow Removal, Parks & Recreation, etc.
Toronto is an excellent city to call home.  With extensive services and a city budget in the billions so much is here to serve you.  As a native Torontonian I am available to show you around and can network you with whichever services you may require.  Please visit the City of Toronto Website.
Toronto is a leader in the Health Care field.  Numerous Hospitals, many of which have gained international notoriety are within a 10 to 20 minute drive.  While the public services are distributed evenly throughout the city, no doubt the influence and power that constitutes this neighbourhood’s culture helps to ensure that this Residential District is especially well maintained.
Here in Toronto and in South-western Ontario we successfully performed the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games and Para Pan American Games.
TRANSPORTATION ... Forest Hill Living includes having a central Toronto location with excellent access to Toronto’s major transportation routes (major roads and highways) which serve the city to and from all directions: Living in Forest Hill means that you can be at the island airport within 20 minutes and Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport within 40 minutes.  Minutes to the Allan Expressway which connects with Highway #401 (part of the Trans Canada Highway) represents the main route into and out of the city from the north end of Toronto:  excellent  connections to the highways that connect to the summer and winter playgrounds north, west and east of Toronto (such as Georgian Bay, Muskoka, Haliburton and The Kawarthas). Forest Hill Homes are also often complimented with Estates outside of Toronto:  In non rush-hour it’s a half-hour drive north to one’s e.g. Gormley Real Estate (Aurora, Newmarket areas).
