This might be a bit creepy, but i do this and know a few other people who do.

Whenever my cousins from out of town come to the GTA, i take them to some streets around the Yonge/York Mills area.

Some beautiful houses there, with unique designs.

It's pretty much just our adding to our wishlist after a 6/49 jackpot. :cheesygri

We try to be respectful and drive by quietly and we don't stare too long.


Does anyone have any suggestions of other areas to check out?

I used to do this all the time with my wife(g/f at the time). Mississauga and Oakville are great

More specifically Mississauga Road between QEW and Dundas... but if you keep going up there are a few big ones by Mississauga Road and Eglinton.

Now you can do the same thing, in the comfort of your house, with Google street view.

Save on gas!

If you are in TO, go west on the gardiner and get off on Winston Churchill, drive south to lake Shore and turn right. You can follow that route for 20-30 minutes through beautiful millionaire homes and there are some nice places to stop along the way.

There are some amazing houses just south of the 401 and Yonge. I think it was called Old Yonge st.....I'm not sure what the area is called so it may have already been mentioned. When taking the 401 eastbound ramp off yonge, take a right into the neighborhood and there are some really nice houses hidden from normal view.

thats the area i mentioned.

Great houses, and quiet area considering it's a stone's throw from the chaos of Toronto traffic.
