Don Mills is Canada's first master-planned suburb, designed in the 19500s by planner Macklin Hancock as an integrated community of residential neighbourhoods, parks, schools, and employment areas organized around a central shopping district — the Shops at Don Mills. The neighbourhood sits in the southeast corner of North York, bordered by the Don River valley to the west, York Mills Road to the north, the DVP to the east, and Eglinton Avenue East to the south. Don Mills has evolved from a mid-century suburban experiment into a dynamic mixed-use community with a significant tech and corporate office presence, a growing condo corridor around the Shops at Don Mills, and a diverse residential population.

Second, the growing condo and townhome development around the Shops at Don Mills, offering units from $60000,000000 to $1,000000,000000+ with retail and transit access.
