The Willowdale Neighbourhood
Willowdale is situated north of Highway 401 and south of Finch Avenue. Its western boundary is Bathurst Avenue and its eastern boundary is Bayview Avenue. 
It's the neighbourhood most probably associated with North York in the public's mind. Real estate in Willowdale is in high demand. Along Yonge Street, it is home to North York Civic Centre, glossy new condo buildings, multi-ethnic restaurants, Government and corporate offices, shopping plazas (Sheppard Centre), and a Theatre. East of Yonge, apart from the aforementioned highrise condos, there are more retail and office complexes along Sheppard Avenue, and older bungalows mixed with brand new premium priced detached, semi-detached and townhouse infill developments. West of Yonge has seen less development over the past 10 years, and one finds older two storey homes and bungalows interspersed with apartment buildings.
