Humewood-Cedarvale

Your Typical Neighbour

The more home-focused neighbourhoods see wealthy upper and upper-middle class families. The peripheries see the demographics spread a little. Either way, make sure in the holiday season you know how to spell Chanukah!

What We Love

Retail offerings that span couture and discount store, and some of the finest caribbean food around! Jerk chicken anyone?

What We Don’t Love

Listing Sticker Shock Syndrome.

The Real Estate Scoop

There is diversity in this neighbourhood from a housing standpoint, and there is demand for all of it. Cedarvale sees a healthy mix of smaller bungalows and semi-detached houses that intermingle with stately executive style homes on sizeable ravine lots. Multi-plexes and smaller walk-up apartment buildings are also prominent along the outer borders of the neighbourhood where transit and retail are concentrated.While the housing stock is quite varied here, this is hardly what one would refer to as a starter neighbourhood. Prices have grown exponentially and don’t show any signs of slowing down in the long run.

Transit

Buses and streetcars surround you with service to the subway Lines closest stations in the area would be Eglinton west right by the Allen and St.clair west station by at the corner of Bathurst. The Eglinton LRT when completed in 2023 will run entirely along Eglinton Avenue for 19 km (12 mi) from the future Mount Dennis station underground to Sunnybrook Park, after which it will run predominantly at-grade along the street’s median to Kennedy station, where it will connect underground with Line 2 Bloor–Danforth and Line 3 Scarborough. The Allen Expressway expedites access to the 401. Taking the car downtown in rush hour won’t be the most pleasant no matter how you slice it.
