The Beach
Real estate in The Beach is not inexpensive. Regardless, it’s well-known as a tightly-knit neighbourhood with a friendly, small town feel, making it the first choice of residence for those who are looking for a quiet lifestyle. For roughly $400,000, a semi-detached home along Queen Street East can be acquired while the newly built mansions on the former Greenwood Race Track are quickly rising to $1,000,000. Prime location is essential when considering a real estate purchase and The Beaches have much to offer. To the south is the striking shore of Lake Ontario with the easily accessible four-lane Kingston Rd. to the north, while the west stretches from Eastern Ave. to Leslie St.
Toronto residents and tourists alike enjoy the sandy shores, from west to east, of Woodbine Beach, Kew Beach, Scarboro Beach, and Balmy Beach, while regularly walking along the infamous Boardwalk for much of its length.
For the shopping enthusiast, Queen Street East is the heart of commerce and offers hundreds of specialty stores, boutiques, antique shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafés. Getting to and from Toronto is easy with the north/south bus lines that connect Coxwell, Woodbine, and the Main Street subway stations, and the east/west streetcars that run along Gerrard Street East, Kingston Road, and Queen Street East.
The Beach homes are generally maintained very well and located on some of the most beautiful tree-lined streets. Edwardian and Victorian style detached homes are regularly seen, but for viewing the most elite homes you’ll need to explore Glen Manor Drive.
Scarborough
Located in southern Ontario, on the eastern side of Toronto, is the beautiful real estate of Scarborough with an area of just over 187 km and a population just short of 600,000 residents. It is distinctively multi-cultural since almost half of the residents were born outside of Canada and offer their own unique ethnicity to the area.
Scarborough is surrounded by beauty from Lake Ontario to the south, Rouge River on the east, to the west is Victoria Park Avenue, and on the north by Steeles Avenue. The gorgeous bluffs that face Lake Ontario only add to its history, heritage, and picturesque side. Schools thrive from elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educational establishments while available transportation and friendly folks enhance the Scarborough living experience.
This area does have its own character but has kept a great deal of its Old Toronto suburban roots which means it continues to be a popular destination for new Canadian immigrants. With the Rouge Valley, the Bluffs, and the other tributaries and creeks, the topography of Scarborough is referred to as being the most scenic part of the City of Toronto.
