Where to stay in High Park North
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Bloor Street carries the south edge. A bed on that side of High Park North puts the park itself within a short walk, while the blocks up toward Annette Street sit quieter and further back from the boundary street. Keele Street splits the neighbourhood informally.
East of it the area also goes by West Bend, and the far western edge runs along Runnymede Road, with the GO Transit Weston Subdivision tracks closing the eastern side.
