Your Typical Neighbour
Young well-educated singles are a majority in this hood. There are some young families as well, often with one single child. There is a high chance that your neighbour is Greek as well.
What We Love
Broadview North is essentially an extension of Greektown… so helloooo greek food, and home to some of the best in the city.
What We Don’t Love
Rush hour traffic on the Gardiner is a complete nightmare, so if you are travelling west to east or vice versa, be prepared for bumper to bumper congestion.
The Real Estate Scoop
Real estate in Broadview North is primarily residential homes, mostly detached homes with the occasional semi-detached and condominium thrown into the mix. Real estate is typically in high demand and housing prices have increased significantly in the past decade. Pride of ownership is very evident.
The style of architecture varies greatly. Modern minimalist homes seamlessly fit together with charming cottage-style bungalows and stately 2 storey homes. The lot sizes are generous and parking is plentiful. A few re-development plans are slated along Broadview, which is the main artery of the neighbourhood. Along Broadview, you also find some newer style townhomes, with older highrise buildings and a newer condo-style apartment building at Mortimer and Broadview. You will also find some low rise multi-residential buildings mixed in with businesses along the Broadview corridor.
There are lots of mature trees lining the streets. Lot sizes are generous and many are irregularly shaped. There is a constant hum from the DVP but there are also several dead-end streets which can make for a very peaceful neighbourhood with very little traffic. It’s a safe haven for families with young children… and this is a family-friendly area–on any given day you will see kids on bikes and scooters, playing with sports balls in the streets & lots of dog walkers with their furry friends.
Broadview North is also home to a lot of renters–68% of the residents are renters versus 32% who are homeowners, making for a healthy balance between owner-occupied homes and renters, and giving the area a diverse demographic.
