Tucked in the corner of Northwest London, Ontario, you will find one of London's fast growing neighbourhoods, Hyde Park. It remained a mostly rural area on the outskirts of London up until the last 20 years or so, at which point it began to grow. With both the expansion of residential neighbourhoods and retail spaces, this has become one of London's most popular communities to live and shop.

Life in Hyde Park
Map of Hyde Park
Hyde Park has experienced a boom in single family detached homes, townhouses, and condos. While there are some homes dating back to the 1960’s in Hyde Park, there are also many new developments happening throughout the community. With several elementary and secondary schools to choose from, this community is a great place for families to call home.
Whether you’re looking for your first home, your forever home, or even a place to retire, there is something for everyone in Hyde Park. Many new developments have attracted both first time home buyers as well as young families. In recent years, the demand for retirement living across London has grown and Hyde Park has met some of that demand, with the development of high rise towers built by Old Oak Properties.
Business is Booming
In recent years, many businesses, (large commercial and mom-and-pop style alike) have called Hyde Park home. The Hyde Park Business Improvement Association plays a big role in creating a strong community that supports life and local business in the area. The HPBIA throws their annual ‘Pondfest’, which encourages Hyde Park business and community members to join in free activities, and learn more about what the neighbourhood has to offer.
Some outstanding locally owned businesses in Hyde Park include Curley Brewing Co., Parkway Garden Centre, Lord Gainsborough Restaurant, Copps’s Buildall and Unger’s Market. It’s so easy to shop local when you live in this neighbourhood!
96% of people living in Hyde Park are homeowners. Why? The answer is clear. The quiet, family neighbourhoods, the huge embrace of the community, and the proximity to all the essentials make this an incredibly attractive place to settle down.
