Located just south of Wellesley Street in the Cabbagetown North Heritage Conservation District, Sumach is a quieter street whose evergreens and single family homes create a tranquil community feel. Just a block or so away from Wellesley Park for both dog lovers and children, as well as the beautiful Riverdale Park West - home to picnic tables, wading pool, walking/bike paths, the Farmer's Market, the annual Cabbagetown Festival, and of course the perennial favourite Riverdale Farm. Admission is free and there are acres of wooded land, great kids activities and numerous farm animals. Joggers, in-line skaters and nature enthusiasts are just minutes away from the Lower Don Bikeway, an off-street bike path linking with the Rosedale Valley bikepath and the Martin Goodman Trail.

Sumach is conveniently close to the city centre. Residents enjoy the luxury of walking to Parliament's thriving mix of cafes, shops and restaurants including Jet Fuel (arguably one of Toronto's best coffee houses), and Provence.
