The Kingsway neighbourhood was originally developed by Robert Home Smith. The development was started in 1912, but the World War I and inadequate transportation slowed down its progress. Once the Bloor Street bridge was built over the Humber River, the home sales in the Kingsway began in ernest. Home Smith designed the homes in The Kingsway to resemble English country residences. This fine neighbourhood's appeal can be attributed in large part to Robert Home Smith's vision.

Adjacent to the Humber River Valley, The Kingsway is a green and family friendly neighbourhood. Streets have no sidewalks, but are shaded by majestic oak trees. Stately homes sit on good size lots.
