About Our Neighbourhood
Wilson Heights – also known as Clanton Park – is a large neighbourhood situated north of the 401 Highway, east of Downsview Airport, south of Sheppard Avenue West and west of Bathurst Street.
The area is home to many middle-class 1950s-era brick bungalows and low-rise condominiums as well as a few lower-rent apartment buildings. The neighbourhood is ethno-culturally diverse, the largest group here, as with neighbouring “Heights” communities, is the Jewish community. A close second and third in population here are the Russian and Filipino communities. (more)
