Why you'd want to live in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill feels like an extension of Canada’s largest city. As a residential hub just north of Toronto, you’ll find unique neighbourhoods, beloved parks, art galleries, festivals, theatres and plenty of shopping and eating. Nestled between the cities of Vaughan and Markham, Richmond Hill offers the best of both worlds: treasured green spaces and cultural heritage. The city’s southern portion features leafy streets lined with 19th century homes. You can enjoy attractions such as the Heritage Centre and Canada’s largest telescope at the David Dunlap Observatory. To the north, you’ll discover Richmond Hill’s expanse of nature, with plenty of lakes, parks, golf courses and conservation areas. These favoured spaces include Lake Wilcox Park, Saigeon Trail Eco Park and the water features (including a waterfall) at the Richmond Green Sports Centre and Park. via destinationontario.com
