A postwar neighbourhood around Lawrence and Warden, with a long-standing local identity.
Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026
Wexford developed in the fifties around the crossroads at Lawrence and Warden, and it retains a settled, established character — postwar bungalows and detached houses on regular lots with private drives, mature trees, and a commercial strip along Lawrence that includes a well-known concentration of Middle Eastern restaurants and grocers. It is central within Scarborough, with straightforward access to the 401 and the Don Valley Parkway. Prices are moderate, and the neighbourhood draws families who want space and parking without moving to the city's edge.
Postwar bungalows and detached houses; some townhouses and low-rise apartments.
Families, first-time house buyers, and long-established local households.
The 54 Lawrence East and 68 Warden buses; Warden station on the Bloor line.
Original postwar houses often retain older systems. Have the electrical and plumbing assessed.
