Neighbourhoods » University Heights, Toronto

University Heights (Jane and Finch) is a neighbourhood located in northwestern North York, a district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The area is roughly bounded by Highway 400 to the west, Driftwood Avenue to the east, Grandravine Drive to the south, and Shoreham Drive to the north. It is a multicultural neighbourhood.

The community has one of the largest concentrations of criminal gangs of any area in Canada. It also has "one of the highest proportions of youth, sole-supported families, refugees and immigrants, low-income earners and public housing tenants of any community in Toronto" (p. 5, A Report of the Jane-Finch Street Involved Youth Issues Coalition, December 2002).

As well, there is a substantial and equally diverse population living in middle class detached, semi-detached, townhouses and high-rise tower blocks.

In January 2009, the area was alternatively named University Heights in an attempt to get rid of its notorious tag.
