Sunnylea

A small, leafy enclave of interwar houses south of Bloor.

Sunnylea is a compact and well-regarded pocket south of Bloor near Royal York, developed largely in the twenties and thirties on former orchard land. The streets curve, the lots are generous, and the housing is period — Tudor and colonial revival homes with mature trees and deep gardens, many carefully maintained or sympathetically extended. It is quiet, it is close to Royal York station, and it trades relatively infrequently. Buyers here are typically comparing it to the Kingsway and choosing it for the slightly smaller scale and the setting.

Housing stock

Interwar detached houses on generous lots; a small number of newer builds.

Who buys here

Families, established households, and long-tenured owners.

Transit

Royal York station on the Bloor line; the 76 Royal York bus.

Worth checking

Period houses often need mechanical and window updates. Have them assessed properly.
