Scarborough Village, Toronto

Scarborough Village is a residential neighbourhood in southeast Toronto, made up mostly of low-rise streets with some apartment buildings mixed in. Residential streets branch off the larger roads, and detached houses sit close to condo apartment buildings and townhouse clusters. Most of the buildings date from the postwar decades through the early 2000s. Of the homes sold in the last 24 months, most were built between 1951 and 2003. Condo apartments made up 44% of the 136 sales, detached houses 29%, condo townhouses 13% and freehold townhouses 10%. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price was $617,500, and the median time on the market was 24 days. Nine homes are for sale right now. The area has no train or subway stations of its own. Getting around depends on the bus network and the major roads nearby, including Kingston Road and Eglinton Avenue East. Highway 401 is a short drive to the north. TTC bus routes connect the streets to the wider city. Everyday shops and services are grouped along the larger roads. They include grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants, along with other neighbourhood services. The area has six parks: Bethune Park, Fred Johnson Park, Lochleven Park, Mason Road Park, Scarborough Village Park and South Marine Park. Scarborough Village Recreation Centre is the community centre inside the area. Five schools are inside the area. Four belong to the Toronto District School Board: Cedar Drive Junior Public School, George P Mackie Junior Public School, Mason Road Junior Public School and Scarborough Village Public School.
