Henry Farm, North York
Henry Farm is a mid-rise and high-rise residential neighbourhood in North York, clustered around Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue East. It is part of the broader Don Mills corridor and has a distinctly planned-community feel — tower blocks set back from the street with generous landscaping, pedestrian pathways, and a mix of 1970s rental towers and more recent condo development.
Transit
One TTC station (Don Mills on the Sheppard subway line) anchors transit access, supplemented by 33 bus stops. The Sheppard line connects west to Yonge and downtown in 25–35 minutes. Don Mills Road bus service also runs north-south.
Parks and Green Space
9 parks are distributed across the neighbourhood, benefiting from the generous setbacks of the tower-block planning era. The Don Valley ravine system is accessible nearby.
Dining and Amenities
25 dining venues and 3 grocery stores serve the immediate neighbourhood, with the Fairview Mall shopping centre nearby providing additional retail. One nightlife venue and 3 healthcare clinics round out local services.
Schools
4 schools serve the area, and one university is accessible — the latter relevant given the student population along the Sheppard corridor.
