Toronto Area Neighbourhood Profiles

Neighbourhoods » The Beaches, Toronto

The Beaches real estate has the greatest variety of architectural house styles of any Toronto neighbourhood. The charm of these Beaches homes is accentuated by the tree-lined streets that wind their way down to the lake. The side streets are mostly lined with semi-detached and large-scale Victorian, Edwardian and new-style houses. There are also low-rise apartment buildings and a few row-houses.

Many of the original frame Beach homes built in the latter half of the 1800's and the early 1900's, have been modernized and are still standing today. However, the majority of The Beaches real estate was built during the 1920's and 1930's.

Controversy has risen in recent years over new development in the neighbourhood that is changing the traditional aesthetic, with denser housing causing some residents to protect the traditional cottage-like appearance of the homes with heritage designations for some streets.
