Kennedy Park, Toronto

Kennedy Park is a Scarborough neighbourhood of low-rise residential streets and mid-rise apartment buildings, centred on the Kennedy subway station, with a housing stock that is mostly detached houses and condo apartments. Local streets are lined with houses, and apartment buildings cluster nearer the station and the main roads. Most homes sold in the past 24 months were built between 1951 and 1985, so the area is largely postwar in age and style. Ravines and parks break up the built-up blocks. Of the 176 homes sold in the last 24 months, 52% were detached houses, 38% were condo apartments and 8% were semi-detached houses. The typical home had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price over that time was $779,000, and the median home spent 21 days on the market. Right now, 22 homes are for sale. Getting around centres on Kennedy station, the eastern end of Line 2, which includes Kennedy Station Bus Platform A and Kennedy Station Bus Platform B for connecting bus routes. Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue East are the main roads nearby, and Highway 401 is reachable to the north. Everyday shops and services are of the usual kinds: grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants. They are found mainly along the main roads and around the station. Green space includes Corvette Park, Farlinger Ravine, Glen Sheppard Park, Greystone Park, Kitchener Park and Maywood Park. Don Montgomery Community Centre is the community centre in the area. No libraries are on record inside the neighbourhood. Schools inside the area are Corvette Junior Public School, Norman Cook Junior Public School, Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studi, South East Secondary Alternative School and Walter Perry Junior Public School, all part of the Toronto DSB. St Maria Goretti Catholic School is part of the Toronto CDSB.
