Caledonia-Fairbank, Toronto

What is Caledonia-Fairbank like? It is a low-rise residential neighbourhood in Toronto made up of detached and semi-detached houses, with most of the housing dating from the second quarter of the 20th century. The streets are lined with single-family houses and the density is modest, with no apartment towers among the homes sold. Most homes sold in the last 24 months were built between 1926 and 1951, so the housing stock is mainly of interwar and early postwar age. Of the 121 homes sold in that period, 78% were detached houses and 22% were semi-detached houses. The typical home has 3 bedrooms. The median sale price was $910,000, and the median time on the market was 16 days. Five homes are currently for sale. For getting around, no train or subway stations are on record inside the area. Eglinton Avenue West and Caledonia Road are the main roads nearby, and the Eglinton Crosstown light rail line and TTC bus routes serve the surrounding streets. Highway 401 and Allen Road are within reach to the north for drivers. Shops and services are of the everyday kind, including cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies. They tend to gather along the larger roads that border the residential blocks. Five parks lie inside the area: Bert Robinson Park, Charles Caccia Park, Eglinton Gilbert Parkette, Marble Hill Parkette and Nairn Park. The two parkettes are smaller neighbourhood green spaces, while the three parks add more open ground. Four schools are inside the area. F H Miller Junior Public School and Fairbank Memorial Community School belong to the Toronto District School Board. St John Bosco Catholic School and St Nicholas of Bari Catholic School belong to the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
