A large area around the former airfield, with postwar housing and major redevelopment ahead.
Downsview covers a broad area of northwest North York around the former military airfield, and it is on the cusp of one of the largest redevelopment projects in the city — the lands around the runway are planned for a new community over the coming decades. The existing housing is postwar: bungalows and small detached homes on regular lots, historically among the more affordable freehold stock in the city. Two subway stations and the Downsview Park GO station serve it. For buyers, the calculation involves both the neighbourhood as it is and the very substantial change that is coming.
Postwar bungalows and detached houses; apartment buildings on the main streets; major new development planned.
First-time house buyers, families, and investors positioning ahead of the redevelopment.
Downsview Park and Sheppard West stations; Downsview Park GO on the Barrie line.
The redevelopment will run for many years. Understand what is planned near any property you consider.
