Our local vote last summer made Beach Hill the official name for our neighbourhood. Now it come up in a Google Maps search, too. See?
I like it because Beach Hill was my entry in the naming contest and it won by a (squeaker) majority.

When I was young everyone knew your neighbourhood as Upper Gerrard. I know this for certain as I had a close friend who lived on Gainsborough Rd. It was also the lexicon used by Simpson’s.
You’re absolutely right… Gerrard jogs a couple of blocks north when it hits Coxwell and we still call it Upper Gerrard from that point on. Beach Hill covers just a small part of Upper Gerrard. The street extends all the way to Victoria Park (once the eastern limit of the city) and beyond. Our hill extends only as far as a couple of blocks past Woodbine. The Google map actually highlights the area is you mouse over it.
