Danforth East York, Toronto

Danforth East York is a residential area of Toronto made up mostly of detached and semi-detached houses on a largely gridded street network, with a low-rise, lower-density character. Streets here run in a fairly regular pattern, with short residential blocks and mature street layouts that give the area a settled, low-rise feel. Buildings are mainly single-family houses, and most of those sold were built between 1926 and 2015, so the housing stock mixes early and mid-century construction with newer infill and rebuilds. Of the homes sold in the last 24 months, detached houses made up 58% and semi-detached houses 37%. There were 315 sales over that period, and 10 homes are for sale right now. The median sale price was $1,168,000, and the median time on market was 10 days. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. Lot sizes are not on record. For getting around, Woodbine station lies inside the area. The Danforth runs close by as a major east-west road, and the Don Valley Parkway and Don Mills Road are the nearby routes for driving north and south. Surface transit lines along the main roads connect with the subway network. Shops and services are found mainly along the main roads and include cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies, with everyday services grouped along the commercial strips and the residential streets set behind them. Green space includes Aldwych Park, Cosburn Park, Dieppe Park, East York Rotary Commons, Les Anthony Parkette and True Davidson Park. The East York Civic Centre serves as the community centre, and the Toronto Public Library - S. Walter Stewart branch is also inside the area.
