Neighbourhood guide  /  Scarborough

Centennial

Newer subdivision housing in the far east, close to the Rouge and the lake.

Centennial occupies the northeastern corner of Scarborough near the Rouge Valley, and much of its housing dates from the seventies onward — subdivision development on regular lots, more uniform in age and condition than the older Scarborough neighbourhoods to the west. It is quiet and family-oriented, with Rouge National Urban Park to the east and the lake to the south. Highway 401 access is straightforward. The area is well removed from the city centre, and buyers here are generally making a deliberate trade of commute time for newer housing and space.

Housing stock

Detached and semi-detached subdivision houses from the 1970s onward; some townhouses.

Who buys here

Families, commuters, and buyers seeking newer stock without leaving the city.

Transit

Rouge Hill GO; the 54 Lawrence East and 116 Morningside buses.

Worth checking

Transit is bus-based apart from GO. Confirm the commute suits your household.
