HOGGS HOLLOW

Forest Hill was incorporated as a village in 1923 and was one of the last two villages to be annexed by the City of Toronto in 1967. Previously known as Spadina Heights, Forest Hill South is among the city's most prestigious neighbourhoods. Old building codes and by-laws dating back to the 1920's and 30's, require that all Forest Hill homes be designed by an architect and that a tree be planted at the front of each property, leaving a legacy of beauty that preserves its reputation as one of Toronto's wealthiest and exclusive communities.

The 'forest' in the name has long since disappeared but there are gentle hills along with curving roads, large brick and stone homes on large lots, and quaint parks. The Upper Village is occupied by mostly Georgian and Tudor styles, but there is also architectural styles ranging in English Country Manors and

French Colonial. Gated entrances and sculpture gardens are not unknown in the wide variety of homes in the neighbourhood.
