York Mills

Ravine-framed estate living around historic Hoggs Hollow

York Mills grew up around the grist and lumber mills that once worked the Don River, and its historic heart, Hoggs Hollow, still carries that early character: winding lanes, stone bridges, and homes tucked into the ravine. The hollow takes its name from the Hogg family, who ran the mills in the nineteenth century.

Our team serves this neighbourhood as part of our Toronto-wide coverage.

The modern neighbourhood spreads east and west of Yonge Street along York Mills Road, an established district of executive homes on generous lots framed by the forested valley of the West Don. The public Don Valley Golf Course anchors its northern edge, and the area’s green corridors connect to the ravine trail system.

The Market: Homes here range from 1960s and 70s contemporaries to substantial new estates, many on ravine lots. Turnover is measured: York Mills residents tend to stay, and the estate inventory trades steadily rather than rapidly.

Who Lives Here: The area draws established professionals and families looking for scale, privacy, and greenery inside the city, with Yonge Street and York Mills Station minutes away.

Notable Features

Green Space: West Don Parklands and the public Don Valley Golf Course
Schools: York Mills Collegiate Institute, with strong public and independent options
Transit: York Mills Station on Line 1 at the neighbourhood’s centre
Dining: The Yonge Street corridor’s restaurants and everyday services are steps away.
