A mixed area near Kennedy and Lawrence, with houses, townhouses and apartment clusters.
Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026
Dorset Park sits around Kennedy and Lawrence in central Scarborough, and it is genuinely mixed — postwar detached houses on residential streets, extensive townhouse complexes, and clusters of rental apartment towers. It is one of the more diverse and more affordable parts of the city, with a long-settled immigrant population and community services to match. Access to the 401 is quick, and Kennedy station connects to the subway. The Scarborough subway extension will improve rapid transit in this part of the borough substantially.
Postwar detached houses, townhouse complexes, and rental apartment towers.
First-time buyers, families, investors, and long-established local households.
The 43 Kennedy and 54 Lawrence East buses; Kennedy station; the Scarborough subway extension is planned nearby.
Apartment and townhouse stock varies widely in condition. Review the condominium documents carefully.
