Approximate, rounded figures for orientation. We look at live data for your actual search.
Richmond Hill sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine, which is a fancy way of saying it's hilly, green, and full of kettle lakes. It's an established, settled city: mature trees, big lots, top schools, and a Yonge Street downtown that's getting a subway extension.
Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox feel like cottage country with a Costco nearby. Bayview Hill is where people go for the school and stay for the lot size.
