O'Connor-Parkview, Toronto

O'Connor-Parkview is a mostly low-rise residential neighbourhood in Toronto, made up largely of detached houses on residential streets, with ravine parkland and a handful of schools inside its boundaries. Streets are largely residential and the density is low to moderate, with houses making up most of the building stock and a smaller number of condo apartment buildings mixed in. Most homes that sold in the past 24 months were built between 1951 and 2023, so the housing is mainly postwar in age. Detached houses made up 83% of the 173 homes sold in the last 24 months, condo apartments 9% and semi-detached houses 5%. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price over that time was $995,000, and the median time on the market was 15.5 days. There are currently 24 homes for sale. For getting around, no train or subway stations are inside the area. Major roads nearby include O'Connor Drive, Victoria Park Avenue, Dawes Road and Danforth Avenue, and the Don Valley Parkway is the closest highway. Line 2 of the subway runs to the south, and TTC bus routes run along the main roads. Shops and services are found mainly along the larger roads bordering the neighbourhood. They include cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies, with everyday services clustered on the commercial strips rather than on the interior residential streets. Green space includes Duncan C. Little Park, George Webster Park, Taylor Creek Park, Topham Park and Willis Blair Parkette. Taylor Creek Park is part of a ravine and creek corridor. The Toronto Public Library - Dawes Road branch is inside the area. Five schools, all in the Toronto DSB, are located here: George Webster Elementary School, Gordon A Brown Middle School, Presteign Heights Elementary School, Selwyn Elementary School and Victoria Park Elementary School.
