Taylor-Massey, Toronto

Taylor-Massey is a mixed residential neighbourhood in Toronto's east end, where condo apartments sit alongside detached and semi-detached houses. Much of the housing was built between 1951 and 2015, so the buildings range from mid-century stock to recent construction. Apartment buildings give parts of the area a denser feel than the house-lined streets around them. Condo apartments made up 56% of the 165 homes sold in the last 24 months, detached houses 24% and semi-detached houses 18%. The typical home sold had 2 bedrooms. The median sale price over that period was $552,000, and the median time on market was 21 days. Right now 7 homes are for sale. No train or subway stations are on record inside the area, so getting around relies on surface roads and nearby routes. These include Victoria Park Avenue, Danforth Road and Danforth Avenue. The Line 2 subway runs along the Danforth to the south, and bus routes serve the main roads. Highway 401 lies to the north for longer drives. Everyday shops and services are found along the main roads. They include grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and pharmacies, along with other neighbourhood services. Green space includes Dentonia Park, Donora Park and Secord Park. Secord Community Centre is the community centre inside the area. Two schools are inside the area: Crescent Town Elementary School and Secord Elementary School, both part of the Toronto DSB.
