St. Andrew-Windfields

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Andrew-Windfields is an upper class neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. St. Andrew-Windfields most famous resident was the popular Canadian Philanthropist E.P. Taylor who left Canada towards the latter years of his life and donated Parkland (now Windfields Park) and his mansion (now an educational building).

The neighbourhood is located North of York Mills, East of Yonge Street (although some argue further East), South of Highway 401 and West of the Don River Branch (slightly east of Leslie). This location is in close promixity to many of Toronto's other most desirable and well to do neighbourhoods.

There are many long winding streets, old trees and usable park space, which makes the neighbourhood attractive to the family oriented upper class.
