Four roads draw the box. Hillcrest Village sits inside North York, with Steeles closing the north and Finch the south of a Toronto neighbourhood.
About Hillcrest Village
Where to stay in Hillcrest Village
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Steeles or Finch. Hillcrest Village runs between them, and the choice of edge sets the direction of travel: the northern boundary at Steeles points out of Toronto, while the southern one at Finch keeps the rest of North York closer. Leslie Street favours the west.
Victoria Park and the Don Valley hold the eastern side, which is the flank the valley itself defines, and the one Hillcrest Village shares with the neighbourhood beyond that border.
About Hillcrest Village
What are the main landmarks in Hillcrest Village?
The Don Valley is the reference point. No monument carries the neighbourhood's name, and the features that orient people here are roads: Leslie Street on the west, Victoria Park on the east, Steeles along the north. Finch closes the fourth side.
Where the eastern boundary runs, the valley gives Hillcrest Village and its eastern neighbour a shared marker of ground rather than of building, which is the orientation both of them use.
What is the history of Hillcrest Village?
Hillcrest Village comes with a thin paper trail. No founding year is attached to Hillcrest Village, and what survives instead is a planning outline: a rectangle of North York bounded by Steeles, Finch, Leslie Street and Victoria Park. Boundaries outlast anecdote.
The Don Valley on the eastern side is older than any of those lines, and it still ties this neighbourhood to the one across the border it shares in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Where is Hillcrest Village?
Streets do the bounding. Leslie Street holds the west edge and Victoria Park the east, and the Don Valley runs behind that eastern line as the shared reference.
