Woodbine Heights

A quiet residential pocket in East York, with bungalows and wide lots.

Woodbine Heights sits in the former borough of East York, north of the Danforth and west of Woodbine, and it is a genuinely quiet residential neighbourhood with very little commercial activity within it. The housing is largely postwar — bungalows, one-and-a-half storey houses and modest two-storey homes on lots that are wider than the Victorian stock closer to downtown, with driveways and garages that the older neighbourhoods cannot offer. That combination of space, parking and price has made it a common destination for families leaving the core, and the rebuilding and second-storey addition cycle is well underway.

Housing stock

Postwar bungalows and one-and-a-half storey houses; increasing numbers of rebuilds and additions.

Who buys here

Families moving from smaller downtown houses, and buyers who need parking and a yard.

Transit

Woodbine and Coxwell stations on the Bloor line; the 91 Woodbine bus.

Worth checking

Bungalow lots attract rebuild interest. Check zoning and what neighbours have been permitted to build.
