Yorkdale–Glen Park is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in the former suburb of North York. It is bounded by Highway 401 to the north, Allen Road to the east, a line south of Stayner Avenue to the south, and the CNR tracks to the west.
Character and demographics
For the most part, the homes in southern Yorkdale–Glen Park (south of Lawrence) tend to date back to the 1950s and 1960s, when developers perfected the uniform vista of bungalows and back splits. Southern Yorkdale–Glen Park is a middle-class suburban community of brick houses. Local shopping areas include Lawrence Plaza, Yorkdale Mall and various street shopping areas along Dufferin Street and Marlee Avenue.
The southern section of Yorkdale–Glen Park, centred on Dufferin Street, is home to a large Italian-Canadian population.
Northwest Yorkdale–Glen Park is primarily industrial, especially along Bridgeland Avenue, and commercial, with a concentration of outlet-style specialty stores especially around Orfus Road. There is a small residential swath bounded by Paul David Street to the west, Dufferin Street to the east, Bentworth Avenue to the south and Jane Osler Drive to the north.
Northeast Yorkdale–Glen Park (east of Dufferin, north of Lawrence) is part of Lawrence Heights.
