Neighbourhood guide  /  Scarborough

Bendale

A central Scarborough neighbourhood near the Town Centre, with varied housing.

Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026

Bendale occupies a central position in Scarborough near the Town Centre and the civic precinct, and it takes in a broad mix of housing — postwar detached homes and bungalows on quiet streets, townhouse complexes, and apartment buildings along the arterials. Thomson Memorial Park and the Highland Creek valley provide substantial green space. The Scarborough Town Centre, the civic centre and the hospital are all close, which makes the area practical for daily life. The subway extension to the Town Centre will change accessibility here significantly.
