A planned postwar community around the shopping centre, with ravine lots and curving streets.
Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026
Bayview Village was planned in the fifties as a self-contained community, and it retains that structure — curving streets that follow the ravine topography, generous lots, and a shopping centre at its heart that has grown into one of the better centres in the city. The housing is a mix of original mid-century homes, many architecturally interesting, and newer rebuilds. Ravine lots along the East Don are a significant part of the appeal and command real premiums. The subway at Bayview station puts downtown within reach, which distinguishes it from most planned suburbs of its era.
Mid-century detached houses and rebuilds; condominium towers near the shopping centre and station.
Families, downsizers moving into the condominiums, and buyers seeking ravine lots.
Bayview and Bessarion stations on the Sheppard line; the 11 Bayview bus.
Ravine properties fall under conservation authority rules. Confirm what you can build before you buy.
