Helloo Johnny! How are you my frend and truly hoped that the 2nd full week of Spring going pretty much kooool plus long bunny weeknd coming up! Thiz was a great e-scooter livestream ride you tagged us along for through the affluent Rosedale Valley and community, woww such a view of those 2 big mansion looking down to the bottom of ravine where they are and superb green roofs. oooh and congrats on 75, 000 subs ypu naturally earned year ago when you did this vid. cheers amigo

[@rrain3375]

I like your entertaining video of Rosedale. Perfect time of year to view the neighbourhood. I live in Guildwood Scarborough. Not near as luxurious as Rosedale. But, I’m maybe 500m from the Scarborough Bluffs with a lovely view all year.

[@oumariyorke6441]

Rosedale is such a beautiful stately gem in the world of affluent communities in Canada. There's a reason the likes of the Thomson's choose to call it home. It has more class in its pinky than the Bridle Path could ever hope to have. It, along with Forest Hills South, Lawrence Park North, and Westmount in Montreal are in my opinion amongst the most aspirational places to live in the country.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Hard to disagree with this!

[@gorviv529]

Nice route Johnny. Really enjoyed it. Thanks to you, and thanks to the subscriber that suggested this one.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@idahamidah744]

[@charlesfiddler6838]

I have a friend who lived in an apartment on Roxborough that was built specifically for servants that worked in the area years ago.

[@alvaroboschet1231]

Dear Mr. Johnny Strides... If it were not for people like YOU... I would have no clue of all these great streets that make up the mosaic picture of Toronto.... Absolutely smashing, Dude.... When traveling through some of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Toronto, like... Zowie!... The houses are beautiful, with full-size lawns, Oh, baby, this is pure money talking and I am quite sure private security is raking in millions to keep the troglodytes out!.... It is fun to watch!... The Day in the Life of the super Rich in Toronto!":..... The only thing missing was the helicopter pad!.....the end.... Always in Good Taste... CHEERS!... Be Supportive and Subscribe.... PS.. I suppose Bruce Wayne has a summer house in that area.... Lol!

[@ketherwhale6126]

Strides strikes again. Huge video. Great tour.

[@sallyforth]

Good morning, great little meander...glad it’s not raining yet.

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone from pickering ontario

[@AlanAmor82]

Be sure to revisit this location over Christmas, I'm sure the exterior decorations will be nice?

[@AdhanomEfrem]

Toronto has one of the poshest neighborhoods in the world, a very beautiful and peaceful environment out there. I saw online these houses could cost up to $3.5M.

[@canman5060]

How about $23.5 million in Shaughnessy Vancouver British Columbia ? $3.5 million only get you a modest bungalow !

[@canman5060]

$3.5 million only get you a modest very old bungalow in a posh neighbourhood in Vancouver ! Toronto house price is far more reasonable.

[@grahammcneilly5103]

Love your videos I'm looking for property in rosedale , they been helpful

[@roh9934]

this remains ond of your best videos johnny. i loved your commentary, need to see more such neighbourhoods, any suggestions?

[@edover60]

Rosedale seems to have a wide variety of architectural styles. Wish I knew more about the styles.

[@lyndamclean6786]

Lots of Tudor. When they bring in architects don’t know maybe they make up the style

[@lyndamclean6786]

I’ll see if i see my cousins home on Forest hills.. i stayed with them three weeks definitely a different lifestyle was glad to go home

[@canman5060]

There is a Rosedale in British Columbia and a Rosedale on Robson Suite Hotel in Vancouver.

[@Canadian_Networth]

13:30 I made a delivery to that house. There is a machine trolly that takes the man up on the side of the house

[@JohnnyStrides]

Neat!

[@phil1625]

Montreal's Rosedale is Westmount. But they actually are progressive with pedestrian lights, cycling path, subway and bus

[@Bill-Montana]

This was an interesting roll around Rosedale, but I’m surprised that you skipped arguably the most interesting part of the neighbourhood, or at least the most unexpected. That being the row of shops along Summerhill west of Glen Road, and the pedestrian bridge over the CP freight line just west of that. Perhaps next time. 😊

[@JohnnyStrides]

The route I followed was requested by a member but you're right that is a neat stretch and I'll be sure to swing through it in an upcoming Summerhill & Moore Park video (even though it's technically in Rosedale). Cheers!

[@redeye1773]

looks just like the slums in Detroit

[@gabriellen.2886]

ats a wonderful-looking area. Please visit this again!

[@JohnnyStrides]

I plan on doing a walk here later this year!

[@ketherwhale6126]

You’d think you were in Sudbury it’s so quiet and uncrowded.

[@ttcfanYT_RBLX]

Nice

[@lyndamclean6786]

My cousin lives in Rosedale

[@Netgear1968]

Highland ave was where the Eaton’s lived,

[@ronwhite9815]

I grew up here . wonderful times

[@tmac9972]

Having watched a fare amount of videos like this I suggest you angle your phone in the direction of the homes on one side then if you want go back the other way showing the homes on the other side. I don't think people just want to look at the streets as the major vocal point of your vids. Just a suggestion.

which is best province to pursue master in computer science in Canada ???

[@TinyDancerO]

You can tell very old money in high end neighbourhoods by the cars - No one drives those flashy, super high end cars in Rosedale. They're not strutting around in flashy clothes either. Super-rich old money folk, have no need to display their wealth, they know how to behave and not fetch attention to their wealth, unlike the Nouveau riche.

[@canman5060]

Compare to Shaughnessy Vancouver , Rosedale is a far better and more reasonable buy for big mansions.

[@imperiodeanimecommunitymagazin]

Very luxurious Neighborhoods THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM IMPERIO DE ANIME COMMUNITY MAGAZINE

[@brentsarazin6597]

I feel sad in some ways when you traveled through this area with it's mansions because it didn't 'feel' very human or happy.

[@derichestt]

aboot

[@arananation]

19:39 the sight of one of the greatest crimes to have ever taken place in Toronto history! When the Liberals destroyed one of the best mansions in Canadian history government house.

[@cholinesdebines]

Zooming into the swimming pool was not cool, you went from flaneur to peeping tom in an uncomfortable instant.

[@JohnnyStrides]

It was clearly visible from the road... 🙄

[@cholinesdebines]

@@JohnnyStrides from a quiet, cul de sac, practically in the woods, where the expectation of privacy is higher than on a busier road. Zooming in was unnecessary.
