Keep reading to find out more about why this neighbourhood is so sought after, and make sure to remember my suggestions on where to visit for the next time you happen to be in the Edgemont area!

Edgemont is home to fantastic restaurants, cafes, and bakeries that line the village streets. Whether you’re looking for lunch, dinner or something in between, there are more than enough options to suit every craving. My favourite coffee shop to stop at is Delaney’s, and if you’re looking for a fun night out I’d recommend heading to Bufala. Give their Chicken Parmesan a try while you’re there for a delicious Italian staple! Regardless of what you order is, their contemporary take on classic Italian dishes and their extensive wine menu always results in endless fun, and deliciousness.

Another great spot to visit is Nicli Antica Pizzeria. Although they are currently closed for dine in, it’s definitely worth ordering take out in order to enjoy their pizza options!

Aside from the cafes, delicious food options, and range of shopping options, this vibrant community is so sought after is because of the proximity to a number of elementary and secondary schools that are all within this district’s catchment.

Elementary schools in this catchment include Braemar, Highlands, Cleveland and Canyon Heights elementary. As the children get older, you won’t have to worry about which high schools they can attend as both Mountainside High School and Handsworth High School are just around the corner from the village centre.

A great activity to do with your kids or on your own while you’re in the Edgemont area is exploring the beautiful outdoors. If you’re an outdoor lover like me, you should check out Capilano Suspension Bridge Park for some treetop adventures, and a cliff walk! Or spend a day exploring Grouse Mountain where you have year-round activities, like skiing, snowshoeing, zip-lining, and birdwatching. There are also breathtaking hikes, trails and cycling routes all right at your fingertips in Edgemont which makes this neighbourhood that much more highly desired.
