Neighbourhood guide  /  Scarborough

Cliffcrest

Above Bluffer’s Park, with mature trees and larger lots on winding streets.

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

Cliffcrest sits above Bluffer’s Park, the main public access point to the base of the Scarborough Bluffs, and it is one of the more established residential pockets in the area. The streets curve, the lots are large and heavily treed, and the housing runs from original postwar homes to substantial custom rebuilds. It is quiet and residential throughout, with little commercial activity within the neighbourhood itself. The park and marina below are a genuine amenity, though the descent to them is steep enough that most residents drive.

Postwar detached houses on large lots; a growing number of custom rebuilds.
