      History:

      Princess Anne Manor and Princess Gardens were the last subdivisions to be developed by Home Smith and Company, whose earlier developments included the building of neighbourhoods such as The Kingsway, Baby Point, Old Mill, and Humber Valley Village. Home Smith and Company also built the Brule Gardens subdivision in Swansea, and the Foxwell subdivision in Lambton. The following excerpt is taken from a 1955 Home Smith Properties Ltd. advertising brochure promoting the sale of homes in Princess Anne Manor and Princess Gardens: “Rapid acceptance of Princess Anne Manor and Princess Gardens by the builders and homeowners has been unprecedented. More than 45 discriminating families have moved into the area since May 1955 …If you are looking for the kind of home you and your wife have planned, come to us for advice on a house or a lot in Princess Anne Manor or Princess Gardens.” Princess Anne Manor and Gardens proved to be very popular with families and, by the early 1960’s this neighbourhood was completely developed.

      Overview:

      Princess Anne Manor and Princess Gardens is an affluent neighbourhood which is only fitting with the Royal references. The area east of Kipling Avenue is referred to as Princess Anne Manor while west of Kipling Avenue is known as Princess Gardens. The expansive properties, winding streets and beautifully treed streetscape provide a sense of tranquility that residents clearly enjoy. This family oriented community revolves around two highly ranked schools: St. George’s Junior Public School and John G. Althouse School. Popular neighbourhood hubs include Lloyd Manor Park and Princess Anne Park. This neighbourhood is also home to the St. George’s Golf and Country Club, one of Toronto’s most exclusive private golf clubs and a former multiple host site of the Canadian Open Golf Championship.

      The original housing mix in this neighbourhood includes ranch-style bungalows, storey-and-a-half houses, split-level homes, ranch-style bungalows and Georgian Revival family homes. Most of these houses were built between 1955 and 1965. All of these homes are detached single-family homes. In recent years the exceptionally large lots in this neighbourhood, some featuring eighty and ninety-foot frontages, have drawn the attention of custom new home builders who have erected large new homes that do not seem out of place on these enormous lots.
