The Perks of Living in Richmond Hill

The Perks of Living in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill is known for large spacious houses that usually come with a big backyard suitable for the entire family. In recent years, Richmond Hill has been evolving dramatically, with new developments shaping up the community. New land developments are springing up in the city due to land acquisition that gave Richmond Hill the needed boost to grow. New detached, mid and high rise condos are underway to meet the needs of the rising population in Richmond Hill.

The city's population is expected to rise to over 275,000 from the current 195,000 in the next two years, which seems quite a lot. However, the unique lifestyle, the gorgeous housing opportunities and the environment are just some of the reasons why new residents, including immigrants, prefer Richmond Hill.

The suburb in the perfect location

Richmond Hill is barely an hour away from Toronto and around 40 minutes from Mississauga. With the excellent infrastructure and transportation options, it is easily accessible whether you go by car, bus or train. It's connected to Highways 7, 404, and 407, plus there are regular bus lines, subway, a GO station, VIVANext, etc.

The numerous parks

As every great suburb, Richmond Hill is abundant in green spaces. With 166 parks, there is plenty of room for recreation and leisure activities.  Some of the best known are Mount Pleasant, Harding Park, and Town Park, as well as the breathtaking Richmond Green Sports Centre with an ice skating rink, baseball field, skateboard park, amphitheatre with a capacity of 300 people, a splash pad, wedding venue, walking trails with beautiful sights, and so much more.

The youthful vibe and diversity

Richmond Hill ranks 3rd by population in the York Region and 50% count to the younger people, which brings a youthful vibe to the city. It also thrives in diversity, with many residents coming from different parts of the world.

The trendy suburb counts to the more affluent types of neighbourhoods with above-average income residents who enjoy a comfy lifestyle. However, several new developments will be devoted to attracting different income levels to make the city more diverse.

Convenience

Richmond Hill is a pedestrian-friendly town considered relatively safe to live. Shopping malls, restaurants, numerous stores, and great schools (which usually rank very high in provincial tests) is what appeals to residents as well. Richmond Hill is also known for some of the fanciest golf clubs and courses in Ontario. Having everything available just around the corner is what most families are looking for. The city is a classic blend of the modern and the historical, giving the suburban community a unique charm.

Rich in historical character, yet well-equipped with exceptional amenities and urban open spaces, and provides a sense of safety and excellent infrastructure, Richmond Hill is one of GTA's top places.
