Housing and Accommodations

For the most part, Wychood consists of a mix of low and mid-rise residential residences. It is a quiet neighbourhood. Majority of the homes were built in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and have tons of charm and character. There is a wide range of home style’s in the area from Tudor, English Cottage, and Edwardian.

In a ravine at the top of Davenport Ridge, there is an exclusive gated community of homes known as Wychood Park. In 1985, the neighbourhood was designated as an Ontario heritage Conservation District with many homes in the area listed as heritage properties. This can be seen in the stunning architecture that was mainly designed by architect Eden Smith. With this kind of historical significance and exclusivity (less than 100 homes in the area!), there comes a steep price tag with homes valued in the millions.
