Bordered on the north by Elgin Mills Road, on the south by Major Mackenzie Drive, on the west by Yonge Street, and on the east by Bayview Avenue, the Crosby neighbourhood is part of Richmond Hill\u2019s downtown core along Yonge Street.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Crosby residents enjoy many benefits living in the middle of downtown Richmond Hill<\/a>. Nearby amenities include a variety of shops and restaurants along Yonge Street. There are also the Richmond<\/a> Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, Richmond Hill Central Public Library, and the Elgin Barrow Arena complex. There are multiple schools in the area, and various parks provide a range of recreational activities for resident families, including one of the largest playground structures in Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Neighbourhood topographical landmarks include the Rouge River and the railway, as well as a green corridor of connecting parks that traverse the centre of this community. A light industrial corridor also runs off Crosby<\/a> Avenue on the approach to Yonge Street.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Crosby is comprised of enclaves of homes built at different times spanning over 100 years. In the north end of the neighbourhood, the houses date back to the late 1800s, but in the south end of the city, you’ll find newer homes built from the 1950s and onward. In the south end, the lots are bigger, but the setting is just as pretty as the north end’s.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”costOfLiving” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”40px|80px|28px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_dwelling_type_costs neighbourhood_id=”gta_rch_1009″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_dwelling_type_costs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”28px|80px|32px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_dwelling_type_trends neighbourhood_id=”gta_rch_1009″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” secondary_cta_text=”Mortgage Calculator” secondary_cta_url=”\/ca\/en\/real-estate\/calculators” secondary_cta_alt_text=”Mortgage Calculator” secondary_cta_color=”light” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_dwelling_type_trends][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”boundaryMap” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”48px|80px|40px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The neighbourhood is named after Parker Crosby, who emigrated to Canada in 1844 from Cumberland, England, and opened a dry goods store on Yonge and Richmond Streets. After the first store was destroyed in a fire in 1866, the resilient Crosby rebuilt his business in a fire-resistant dwelling and renamed it "The Fire Proof."<\/p>

 <\/p>

In 1863, Parker and Mary Crosby built their home Crosby Hall at 38 Bedford Park Avenue just south of the present-day Crosby Avenue. This Victorian, Ontario farmhouse was distinguished by a large central cupola that was a Richmond Hill landmark.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Some houses in Crosby can be found donning historical plaques, while older streets have signage that proclaims the history of the Village of Richmond Hill established in 1873.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/dam\/atlas\/article-images\/neighbourhood-spotlight\/richmond-hill\/crosby-home.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg” alt=”south crosby” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”wahi_neighbourhood_image” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”420px” border_radii=”on|32px|32px|32px|32px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”16px|80px|0px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Made up of many different styles of homes from over the last 100 years, the oldest parts of Crosby date back to the 1800s when Richmond Hill was a village.<\/p>

 <\/p>

The community of Crosby features homes that are generally mature and include semi-detached and detached two-storey homes, bungalows, and the occasional rebuild. Many are large and flush in mature trees and bushes.<\/p>

 <\/p>

Roughly one-third of dwellings are detached homes, whereas the remainder is mainly large apartment buildings, duplexes, and townhouses. Fanning out from Centre Street, there are random pockets of bungalows, ranch-style homes, and infill two-storey, detached homes that would have been built mostly in the 1950s and \u201960s.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”infographics” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”0px|80px|64px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_neighbourhood_infographics neighbourhood_id=”gta_rch_1009″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_neighbourhood_infographics][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”16px|80px|64px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Located in the heart of the historic downtown on Yonge Street at Wright Avenue, you can pay a visit to the landmark Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts (RHCP). This beautiful 4,000-square-metre, 631-seat cultural facility offers a full season of professional entertainment celebrating the many cultures of the York Region. The centre is also home to Richmond Hill’s diverse arts community, creating a major venue in the downtown core to bring Canadian and international performers to the area.<\/p>

 <\/p>

To learn more about Richmond Hill\u2019s history, the Richmond Hill Heritage Centre is located within Crosby at 19 Church Street North in a restored 1940s Regency-style cottage. Here you will find workshops, programs, and exhibits full of interesting historical items.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”64px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Perhaps the best part of Crosby is the shopping, with Richmond Hill’s primary shopping, entertainment, and business district along Yonge Street north of Major Mackenzie Drive. An interesting mix of professional services, restaurants, and shops are sure to have something for everyone.<\/p>
