Tam O'Shanter

A settled residential area around the golf course, near Sheppard and Kennedy.

Tam O’Shanter takes its name from the golf course at its centre, and it is a settled residential neighbourhood of postwar detached houses and bungalows on regular lots, with townhouse and apartment development along the arterials. It sits close to Sheppard and Kennedy, giving good access to shopping and the 401. The golf course and the surrounding parkland provide genuine green space in an area that is otherwise fairly built out. It is a practical, family-oriented neighbourhood with steady turnover and moderate prices.
