10 Wealthiest Neighborhoods in Ontario
2) York Mills, Toronto
The name comes from the area’s old grist mills industry. Nowadays it’s clear this neighborhood has strayed far from its blue-collar roots. The average household income is $1.2 million, defining York Mills as the most affluent neighborhood in Ontario and the second richest in the nation. Going hand in hand with sky high incomes are the hefty price tags on homes. The average price is nearly $3.5 million. One of the reasons this neighborhood is so uppity is the heavily preserved natural scenery and greenery. It’s clear this district’s been built around nature, and not the other way around. Even still, York Mills has a wonderful central shopping plaza featuring gourmet food shops, a winery, and specialty retail shops. The location is far enough away from the city center to feel secluded, but close enough that the glittering nightlife, arts, and cultural scene of Toronto is accessible in 20 minutes.
