Bayview Village

A planned postwar community around the shopping centre, with ravine lots and curving streets.

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.

Housing stock

Mid-century detached houses and rebuilds; condominium towers near the shopping centre and station.

Who buys here

Families, downsizers moving into the condominiums, and buyers seeking ravine lots.

Transit

Bayview and Bessarion stations on the Sheppard line; the 11 Bayview bus.

Worth checking

Ravine properties fall under conservation authority rules. Confirm what you can build before you buy.
