Maryvale

Quiet postwar streets north of Lawrence, between Victoria Park and Warden.

Maryvale is a compact postwar neighbourhood north of Lawrence between Victoria Park and Warden, built out in the fifties and largely unchanged in form since. The housing is bungalows and small two-storey detached homes on regular lots with driveways, on quiet streets with very little through traffic. It has parks, schools and a settled family character, and it is close enough to the 401 and the Don Valley to suit drivers. It has historically been among the more affordable detached-house neighbourhoods in the city, and the renovation cycle is well underway.

Housing stock

Postwar bungalows and small detached houses; some rebuilds and additions.

Who buys here

Families, first-time house buyers, and buyers seeking a yard and parking.

Transit

The 24 Victoria Park and 54 Lawrence East buses; Victoria Park station on the Bloor line.

Worth checking

Bungalow lots attract addition and rebuild interest. Check zoning and what neighbours have built.
