About the Neighbourhood
Princess – Rosethorn
This neighbourhood has a consistent population, is higher income, and is popular with families with teens, people in their 40s, people in their 50s, and people in their 60s. Also known as Princess Gardens, this neighbourhood is divided into two areas. The portion east of Kipling Road is known as Princess Anne Manor while the portion west of Kipling is Princess Margaret Gardens. They are named after The Princess Anne and The Princess Margaret, members of the British Royal family. The southwestern part of the neighbourhood is also sometimes known as Glen Agar. This is a post-war developed residential area. Its main street is Eglinton Avenue, a four-lane arterial road running east-west along the north of the neighbourhood. Residential subdivisions back onto Eglinton along this stretch. The density of the housing is very low, and road patterns are generally curved roads leading into cul-de-sacs to reduce traffic.
