Rosedale Real Estate & History
Sherrif William Botsford Jarvis and his wife Mary settled in Rosedale in the 1820s before Rosedale had its name. The community of Rosedale was given its name by Mary Jarvis, named in honour of the wild roses that grew along the hillside of the Jarvis estate. In 1864, the Jarvis family sold their Rosedale home which resulted in the subdivision and creation of South Rosedale. A bridge was built over the Park Drive Ravine in 1909. As a result, North Rosedale’s development began after the bridge was constructed. Prior to the development of North Rosedale, the area was once home to St. Andrews College and the Rosedale Golf Club.

South Rosedale and North Rosedale are among 15 different heritage conservation districts within the City of Toronto.
The South Rosedale Ratepayers’ Association (which was formed in 1931 and is the oldest association of its kind in Toronto) fought for South Rosedale’s designation as a heritage conservation district. As a result of the South Rosedale Ratepayers’ Association’s efforts, South Rosedale was granted heritage conservation district status in 2003. North Rosedale followed suit and received its heritage district designation in 2005. Visit the following link to learn more: www.heritagetoronto.org
Rosedale consists of Gerogian, Victorian, Edwardian and Tudor-style mansions which were built between 1860 and 1930. Many of Rosedale’s homes are listed as heritage properties. South Rosedale includes several condominiums, co-operative and co-ownership apartment buildings. These buildings tend to be quite affordable and are a great starting point for those who are looking to enter the community of Rosedale.
