Single Family Homes For Sale in Dean Park, Toronto

The best approach to navigate this part of the city is usually a car. The majority of real estate listings are a very short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Highway 401, and it is very convenient to come across a place to park. In contrast, public transit riders may find few choices in this part of Toronto due to the service's low frequency. Nonetheless, property owners have access to about 10 bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. Even though cycling is more practical in certain sectors than others, Dean Park is not very cycling-friendly as bicycling is made strenuous by the typically hilly terrain, and this neighbourhood is home to a rather poor cycling infrastructure. It is also difficult for pedestrians to move around in this neighbourhood because running common errands is at times challenging.

Daycares and primary schools are easy to reach on foot from any location in this neighbourhood. In contrast, there are only a few high schools and consequently they can be a long walk away. As far as eating is concerned, some home buyers in this part of the city may be able to reach the closest supermarket on foot, while others will need another means of transportation. There are also a limited number of options for those who care about restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

There are a lot of green spaces to enjoy in Dean Park. To be more precise, there are approximately 20 public green spaces close by for residents to unwind in, like Rouge Park and Bob Hunter Park, which makes them very easy to access. However, the tree canopy coverage for most streets is below average. It is relatively serene in this area, since there are very few people out and about on the streets.

In Dean Park, about 40% of dwellings are single detached homes, while large apartment buildings, small apartment buildings, and townhouses make up most of the remaining housing stock. This neighbourhood offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy about three quarters of the properties in the neighbourhood and the remainder are rented. This part of the city did not experience a single building boom; the construction of new dwellings in the neighbourhood was spread throughout multiple decades in recent history.
