Location

Living in Richmond Hill means being perched on the moraine with rolling kettle lakes, and both Lake Wilcox and Bond Lake feel tucked away and alive with green space. Parks, from David Dunlap Observatory Park to Richmond Green Sports Centre, are everywhere, packed with trails, splash pools, amphitheaters, and even a skate park. Residents move through tree lined streets to reach shopping clusters at Hillcrest Mall or cozy plazas along Yonge Street, where meals from every corner of the globe keep your senses curious and your options never dull.
As for rentals, you’ll find a variety of styles. Apartment communities, both high rise and low rise, sit beside townhomes and spacious, single-family houses. Nearly half of the housing stock dates from after 2000, offering modern layouts and finishes.
Life here flows easy: a quiet Saturday might start with coffee, a walk through Alliance Grace Park or along tidal creek paths, followed by browsing shops, grabbing a bite, or catching a bus to the GO train on your way downtown. You’ll find York Region Rapid Transit (VIVA buses) and multiple GO stations easily accessible, putting Toronto 30–60 minutes away, depending on traffic.
You’ll notice culture too: the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts stages theatre, concerts, and comedy, while the Heritage Centre—housed in a restored 1840s cottage—connects you to the area’s past. Richmond Hill exudes a lived-in warmth: verdant streets with multiple parks, a dynamic food and shopping scene, solid transit links, and a mix of rental styles from striking apartment communities to roomy homes.
