Grange Park was Toronto's first elite neighbourhood. It is named after Grange House, built in 1817, by D'Arcy Boulton Jr., a member of one of early Toronto's wealthiest and most prominent families.

Grange House is now part of the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the mansions on Beverley Street, are the sole reminders of this neighbourhood's period of affluence.

In the late 1800's, Grange Park's upper class gentry headed for the newer more fashionable suburbs in Parkdale, Rosedale and the Annex.

By the early 1900's, Grange Park's large estates had been transformed into rows of modest workers' houses that became home to many new Canadians.

Jewish immigrants were followed by Eastern Europeans and most recently the Chinese; who migrated to Grange Park after Toronto's first Chinatown at Dundas and Elizabeth Street was razed in the 1960's, to make room for the new City Hall.

Grange Park's narrow tree-lined streets are lined with ornate Victorian row houses, built between 1870 and the 1890's. These houses feature all the Victorian trimmings.

Condominium buyers should check out ïVillage- by-the-Grange. Built in 1980, this is one of Toronto's first mixed use developments. It features condominiums, retail and offices, all in the same complex. This city landmark is currently being revitalized by the Grangetown development which will incorporate urban townhouses into the Village-by-the-Grange.

South of Village by the Grange is the Beaver Hall Artist's Co-op. Beaver Hall has twenty-four apartments and a large communal studio space. It was designed to provide local artists with affordable ïlive and work space.

The tiny Baldwin Village shopping district, on Baldwin Street between McCaul and Beverley Streets, is one of Toronto's prettiest places to shop. This street is filled with cosy little cafes and restaurants that will delight any palate.
