Lytton Park, west of Yonge and south of Lawrence Avenue, is one of Toronto's most exclusive neighbourhoods. The lots are large, and the community is close to a number of private schools. The Metropolitan Street Railway began servicing the area in 1886 with a station at Yonge and Glengrove, and the railway began land development 1888, which ramped-up in 1912 when the area was amalgamated into the City of Toronto. By 1930 the area was fully developed. Motorists can head downtown via Yonge Street or Mount Pleasant Road and reach Highway 401 via Yonge St. The Lawrence station (on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line) is short walking distance.
