If you’re looking for the perfect balance of city energy and natural beauty, Nest at High Park offers both. Our shared accommodation sits on a quiet, tree-lined street only minutes from Toronto’s largest green space and within easy reach of downtown.
It’s close enough to downtown for spontaneous adventures, yet far enough to escape the concrete and noise. The neighbourhood is green, peaceful, and full of mature trees — a calm retreat after a busy day in the city.
It’s a warm, design-forward home base for solo travellers, couples, or friends who want comfort, connection, and convenience.
Why Stay at Nest at High Park
High Park is one of Toronto’s most loved neighbourhoods—safe, scenic, and full of local character. At Nest, you’ll experience it like a resident, not a tourist.
Steps from nature
Start your morning with a walk or an evening jog through High Park’s 400 acres of trails, gardens, tennis courts, public pool, and the peaceful Grenadier Pond.
Fast downtown access
Walk just five minutes to Keele or High Park subway station and reach Union Station in under 20 minutes. Perfect for exploring downtown Toronto without the traffic.
Easy highway access for day trips
Nest at High Park sits just minutes from the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 401, giving you quick routes to explore beyond the city — from Niagara Falls, to Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country or to Port Credit, or the beaches of Lake Erie.
Convenient airport proximity
Travelling to or from Toronto Pearson International Airport? You’ll reach it in under 25 minutes by car or easily via transit connections, making Nest ideal for both local and international travellers.
Local vibe
Nestled between Roncesvalles, Bloor West Village, and The Junction, you’ll find artisan bakeries, European-style markets, and cozy cafés within minutes of your door. In September, Bloor West Village hosts North America's largest Ukrainian street festival, celebrating Ukrainian culture, music, food, and traditions.
Peaceful evenings
After a day in the city, unwind in a bright, quiet room surrounded by trees. In the summer, enjoy the shared backyard pool and garden patio.
