Where is North York?
North York is one of the six cities that make up the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It's located in the northern part of Toronto. Roughly bounded by the Humber River to the west, Steeles Avenue to the North, Victoria Park Avenue to the East, and the southern boundary is roughly around Lawrence.
North York is a diverse and international-oriented neighborhood and one of the fastest growing parts of the region due to its proximity to Old Toronto. It became a city in 1979; on Valentine‘s Day, its corporate slogan was "The City with Heart". North York has been attracting high-density residences, rapid transit, and several corporate headquarters in the North York City Centre.

Great review and tour of North York!

[@MICHELLEREFANI]

Thanks for watching

Wowowo great location and information provided keep it up

I recently moved to North York, and I fall in love with here because here is like a little United Nations!

[@stoddard1953]

It's a great area. Gives you the vibe of downtown Toronto minus all the headaches. Perfect if you still want to have that city feeling without it being too chaotic for you.

[@Flagrum3]

I grew up in North York right near Yonge and Steeles. It used to be an awesome place to live, now it is way too crowded. House prices are ridiculous also. We sold our family 3000 sq ft home in 1986 for $190k, now its worth over 2 million....NUTS!!

[@ahmedzakikhan7639]

Made a big mistake selling !! More crowd = more demand = and more demand means more price. I want more crowd in my area so that I can sell high.

[@Flagrum3]

@@ahmedzakikhan7639 It was my parents home and they retired. They moved up north a bit and bought a nice place with land for 32k. They lived a nice retirement. The gist of my comment was that it is not a nice place to live anymore, in my opinion.

North York is good area to live . specialy between north York center and shepherd. You have got a butiful video. Tridel building is the best in North York. We bought Dec 2002 still butiful. Thanks for your butiful video.

[@MICHELLEREFANI]

I appreciate your kind feedback Farshid, I am glad you like this video. TRIDEL is certainly one of the best builders in Canada, I am a big fan 😊🙌

[@georgeemil3618]

Looks like the only walkable neighbourhood in North York is on Yonge Street. Everywhere else is shopping centres connected by arterial road that are neither safe or inviting for pedestrians and cyclists. I live 2km from Shoppes in Don Mills and it's a challenge to get there without a car. North York needs separated and protected bike lanes.

[@leadnsteel1428]

Don't forget endless construction.

[@MICHELLEREFANI]

I agree George 💯 we need a revitalization plan for the walkways and bike lanes in many of the GTA neighbourhoods, specially North York!

Thanks Foycel, I wish you a safe travels to Canada. Feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do for you here.

[@stevexie2705]

North York is diverse, but not in the same way Markham is. You will likely find different ethnicities in just about every corner in North York, but in Markham its different. Unionville is mostly Chinese, whereas the area east of McCowan and south of 14th is mostly Indian. Go north to Elgin mills it's mostly Caucasians living close to the farms. The only truly diverse area in Markham is Cornell, where lots of new developments are taking place.

[@MICHELLEREFANI]

Hi Steve, you are absolutely right about the diversity of communities in Markham and North York. It’s wonderful to educate other people that do not live in these areas and want more information. Thank you for sharing!
