Pelmo Park-Humberlea, Toronto

Pelmo Park-Humberlea is a residential neighbourhood in northwest Toronto, made up mostly of detached houses on local streets, with several parks scattered through it and quick access to major highways. Its streets are lower-density, with houses, semi-detached homes and clusters of townhouses rather than tall buildings. Most of the homes sold in recent years were built between 1985 and 2018, so the housing is newer than in many older Toronto neighbourhoods. Over the last 24 months, 137 homes sold here, and 10 are for sale right now. Detached houses made up 57% of sales, condo townhouses 17%, semi-detached houses 16% and condo apartments 7%. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price was $960,000, and the median home spent 26 days on the market. For getting around, Highway 401 and Highway 400 are close by, and Weston Road and Jane Street are the major roads used for north-south travel. TTC bus routes run along these main roads and connect to the wider subway and streetcar network. Everyday shops and services are found mainly along the larger roads and in nearby commercial areas. They include grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and pharmacies, along with other daily services. The neighbourhood has eight parks: Acacia Park, Crawford-Jones Memorial Park, Isaac Devins Park, Joseph Bannon Park, Louise Russo Park, Pellatt Parkette, Pelmo Park and Strathburn Park. Together they give the area a steady supply of open green space among the residential blocks. Three schools are located inside the area. Pelmo Park Public School is part of the Toronto District School Board. St Basil-the-Great College School and St Simon Catholic School are both part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
