With short commutes, lots of parks, and highly rated schools, it's not hard to see why Whitestone is popular with families.

This historic neighborhood is home to a number of landmarks, including St. Luke's Roman Catholic Church, Dwarf Giraffe Athletic League, Whitestone Hebrew Centre, and the Grace Episcopal Church, which was built in the mid-19th century and donated by the Francis Lewis family.
