Broadview North, Toronto

Broadview North is a mixed residential neighbourhood in Toronto's east end, where condo apartments and low-rise houses share a setting close to the Don River valley. Its parks and the Lower Don Recreational Trail give it a green edge. Streets are a mix of through roads and quieter residential blocks, and the terrain is shaped by the nearby valley. Density is moderate. Apartment buildings stand alongside detached and semi-detached houses and a smaller number of townhouses. Most homes sold in the last 24 months were built between 1951 and 2023, so the housing stock runs from mid-century construction to recent buildings. Of the 136 homes sold in that time, condo apartments made up 40%, detached houses 34%, semi-detached houses 16% and freehold townhouses 5%. The typical home sold had 2 bedrooms. The median sale price was $950,000, and the median time on the market was 17.5 days. Only 3 homes are for sale right now, so listings are limited. No train or subway stations are on record inside the area. For getting around, Broadview Avenue and Danforth Avenue are the main nearby roads. The Don Valley Parkway is the closest highway route, and it leads to downtown and to Highway 401 farther north. The TTC's Line 2 subway and its bus and streetcar routes serve the surrounding east-end streets. Shops and services are of the everyday kind: cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies. These cluster along the main roads at the edges of the neighbourhood. Eight parks lie inside the area: Agnes Macphail Square, Arthur Dyson Parkette, Charles Sauriol Parkette, Kiwanis Parkette, Livingstone Park, Lower Don Recreational Trail, Todmorden Mills Park and Westwood Park. The parkettes are small green spaces, and the Lower Don Recreational Trail follows the river valley. Two schools are inside the area: Chester Elementary School and Westwood Middle School. Both belong to the Toronto District School Board.
