Neighbourhood guide  /  North York

Newtonbrook

North of Finch toward Steeles, quieter and more residential than the Yonge hubs.

Newtonbrook runs from around Finch north to Steeles, and it is a predominantly residential area of postwar houses on regular lots — quieter than the Yonge corridor immediately south and priced accordingly. The housing is a mix of original bungalows and split-levels alongside a growing number of rebuilt homes, following the same pattern as Willowdale a few years behind. Commercial activity is concentrated on Yonge and Finch, with the side streets almost entirely residential. It appeals to families who want space, parking and reasonable transit without the density of the hubs.

Housing stock

Postwar bungalows and split-levels, increasingly rebuilt; low-rise apartments on the main streets.

Who buys here

Families, buyers moving north for lot size, and established local households.

Transit

Finch station a short bus ride; the 97 Yonge and 60 Steeles West routes.

Worth checking

Distance from the subway varies the value considerably. Measure the walk, not the drive.
