Moore
Park is surrounded on all sides by natural barriers. To the north is the Mount
Pleasant Cemetery, to the south is the Park Drive Ravine and the railway tracks,
to the east is the Moore Park Ravine and to the west is the Vale of Avoca Ravine.
With so much
nature at its doorstep, it is not surprising that Moore Park is one of Toronto's
most sought after neighbourhoods.

Moore
Park includes primarily English Cottage, Georgian, and Tudor-style houses built
between 1908 and 1930.
Moore
Park lots are generally quite large, and many of the houses back on to one of
the ravines that skirt this neighbourhood.
Moore Park also contains many newer townhouses as well as a fair number of duplex
and multi-plex homes.
For
such a high end neighbourhood it is somewhat surprising that many of the houses
have shared rather than private driveways. However, the streets are so quiet and
uncluttered that parking is not a problem.

Moore
Park residents do most of their shopping at either the Yonge and St. Clair or
the Mount Pleasant and Davisville shopping districts. Both these areas are well
known for their gourmet food shops and fine dining.
Moore
Park residents who live in the more secluded south-east pocket of the neighbourhood
can walk across a railway overpass to the small collection of neighbourhood stores
on Summerhill Avenue.
