10 Wealthiest Neighborhoods in Canada
8) Sunnybrook, Toronto
Sunnybrook had once been the estate of a well-known horseman named Joseph Kilgour, which also contributes to Sunnybrook’s’ residents love of horses and horse-riding, which is immediately present as you drive among stables and magnificently well-bred horses with pedigrees nearly as strong as their owners’. After Kilgour’s death, the land was donated to the city, and is now used as a riding school and a park for residents to hike, bike, play with their dogs, or go on picnics. Sunnybrook is also home to one of Canada’s largest hospitals with a staff of over 10,000, which also is testament to the number of doctors and surgeons who live within Sunnybrook’s boundaries. The average household income is $311,979, seemingly low for one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Canada. However, the disparity in middle class to extreme wealth is apparent, as Sunnybrook also has an average household net worth over $20 million. In addition, the average house prices are $2.29 million.
