Bayview Village, Toronto

Bayview Village is a dense, largely high-rise part of north Toronto where condo apartment buildings stand alongside quieter residential streets of detached houses. Its main routes are Bayview Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East, and much of the housing is recent. Most homes sold in the area were built between 2013 and 2023, so the area is mostly modern towers and newer low-rise buildings, with some detached houses on the side streets. Condo apartments made up 77% of the 453 homes sold in the last 24 months. Detached houses accounted for 15% and condo townhouses for 6%. The typical home sold had 2 bedrooms. The median sale price over that period was $600,000, and the median home spent 27 days on the market. There are currently 27 homes for sale. Three stations sit inside the area: Bayview, Bessarion and Leslie. All three are on the Sheppard subway line, which links to the Yonge line to the west. Bayview Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East are the main roads, and Leslie Street and Highway 401 are close by. Highway 404 and the Don Valley Parkway are also within reach, and surface bus routes run along the major roads. Shops and services are of the everyday kind. Grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants are found along the main roads and near the stations, and they are often at street level in the newer buildings. Green space includes Alamosa Park, Ambrose Parkette, Bayview Village Park, Bessarion Parkette, Blue Ridge Park, Canadian Tire Park, Clarinda Park and East Don Park. Community facilities include the Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Community Recreation Centre & Library and the YMCA. Two schools lie inside the area: Bayview Middle School and Elkhorn Public School. Both belong to the Toronto District School Board.
