Rockcliffe-Smythe is a neighbourhood in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the former city of York, which is now part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). The neighbourhood is not bordered by four streets, but the closest borders are Eglinton Ave W to the North, Weston Road to the East which then veers South and West until it reaches St. Clair Ave W and the CPR line which runs into the Western border of Lambton Park and Golf Club. This neighbourhood is surrounded by green space including Smythe Park centrally located, Gladhurst Park and Scarlett Woods golf course to the North, and again Lambton park and golf course on the Western border. The Black Creek, parks and great topography make Rockliffe-Smythe a natural beauty of a neighbourhood. Despite some of the natural green beauty this neighbourhood is one of the lowest in terms of average income and average house price (source:statscan 2001). It is culturally diverse with an above average number of South East Asian and Latin American descendants. As with many neighbourhoods defined by the city, there are often more traditional names for pockets of the city. Directly North East of Jane and St. Clair W is an area called Syme, named after George Syme. Further to the East (beyond Hilldale road) is another pocket called Harwood. Harwood is bordered almost by creek in all directions.
