T he commercial backbone of the community, Kingston Road changes its personality several times as it moves through the heart of West Hill. Here commerce gives way to trees and lawns, churches, restaurants and motels. This is near the traditional centre of the community where the first homes in the area were constructed and where the West Hill Hotel provided the only social life for miles around. The hotel was torn down several years ago and the ground still awaits redevelopment. T he Kingston Road bridge across Highland Creek is the most distinctive feature of the eastern most entrance to the City of Toronto from the 401 highway.
West Hill is the first glimpse of the city for travelers from the east.
Its motels provide an opportunity to rest up from the drive, while its restaurants offer a wide selection from elegant dining to fast foods.
