Community Overview
is inside South Richvale Community. The community of South Richvale runs from Yonge St on the East to Highway 7 in the south, Bathurst St on the west, and Carrville Rd in the north. The community was one of Toronto's first commuter suburbs. The development coincided with the opening of the Richvale School in 1923. The significant real estate development started in the 1950s, and many residential houses were built around the 1970s. The original houses, many sitting on large premium lots, were relatively modest, consisting mainly of bungalows that were gradually rebuilt into much larger custom-designed homes. In past 3 months, 14 Detached homes were sold at average of $2.97M. Besides English, Italian, Chinese and Persian is the most common second language spoken in the family. Homeowners have access to about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. Hunter's Point Wildlife Park is a quiet, contemplative green space located in the southwest section of Richvale, providing habitats for many exotic birds and animals. Moreover, on the east side of Yonge St is Bayview Glen Plaza. South Richvale is now one of the most desirable Richmond Hill communities for Chinese families. Many marketers promote the community as South Rich Valley, highlighting it as a wealthy neighbourhood and its name, after translating to Chinese Cantonese, as a famous Hong Kong landmark, 'Lan Kwai Fong'.
