Large parks and access to the walking and hiking trails of the Don Valley bring balance to the bustling commercial side of this growing North York neighbourhood. There are many high-rise Toronto condos to be found throughout the area, as well as select townhouse complexes, all of which offer access to Centerpoint Mall and Yonge Street plazas.

Yonge Street is one of the top draws of the area, with a diverse selection of excellent restaurants and shops for residents to explore. The many elementary and secondary schools in Newtonbrook make it a popular place for young families and a smart choice for first-time buyers. As a little fun fact, Newtonbrook was the birthplace of Canada’s 14th Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957.

For those that love cooking, S & D Best Foods is only a 5 minute walk.

If you are reliant on transit, don't fear, there is a Bus Stop (Cactus Ave at Connaught Ave) only steps away. It also has route Willowdale-senlac nearby. If you're driving, you'll have access to the rest of the city by way of Hwy 401 as well, which is within a 8-minute drive using on and off ramps on Yonge St.
