Toward the end of the 20th century, much of Scarborough was transformed from rural land to suburban communities. One event in particular attracted developers to the area: the completion of the Scarborough subway line in 1985.Between the 24 distinctive neighbourhoods that together make up the area, Scarborough condos for sale are luckily not all that hard to come by.

Scarborough

Although Scarborough condos for sale can be quite far from <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto</a>, this doesn&rsquo;t stop residents from visiting often &mdash; or even commuting daily. Even residents without cars of their own can reach the downtown core in no time, thanks to the Scarborough subway line.Once at Kennedy Station, passengers can transfer onto the Bloor-Danforth line, from which they can ride east into the centre of Toronto. When moving in the other direction, travellers can head as far as McCowan Station, after which they can transfer onto a bus in order to complete their journeys. And prospective buyers hoping to stay in the area a long time should know that there are plans in place to extend the Bloor-Danforth line into Scarborough, with the new 6.2 kilometres of track due to replace the existing Scarborough line completely.As for those who drive, Scarborough residents have plenty of options for driving around the area &mdash; and for exiting it altogether. For one, drivers can use the 401 to travel east toward Pickering, Ajax, and beyond. Those heading into the city, on the other hand, might opt to take the 401 toward the Don Valley Parkway.Kingston Road is also useful for anyone living in the south end of Scarborough, in neighbourhoods like <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/scarborough/scarborough-village-guildwood">Scarborough Village &amp; Guildwood</a>. Using this major road, drivers can drive east into <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/east-end/the-beaches">The Beaches</a>, at which point they can transfer onto Lake Shore Boulevard East.

In 2008, the Toronto Star published a list of potential mottos for the Scarborough Area. While &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got the stuff, we never bluff, we are Scarborough, a diamond in the rough&rdquo; is a bit corny &mdash; and slightly too long in our opinion &mdash; this phrase does get at the heart of what Scarborough is all about.What the words &ldquo;rough&rdquo; and &ldquo;bluff&rdquo; are referring to is the area&rsquo;s pi&egrave;ce de r&eacute;sistance, the natural landscape known as the Scarborough Bluffs. In fact, Scarborough takes its name from a seaside town in eastern England, which also happens to be known for its limestone bluffs.The Bluffs is an escarpment, meaning a large cliff that separates two areas of differing elevations. Above the Bluffs sits the large residential and commercial area known as Scarborough, with a beach and the shore of Lake Ontario situated below. And while Scarborough residents can head to virtually any part of the bluffs in order to enjoy some quiet time in a park, those hoping to do some sunbathing will want to head straight to Bluffer&rsquo;s Park Beach.Scarborough&rsquo;s waterfront locale also attracts seafaring types to the area. A number of yacht clubs have set up shop just west of Bluffer&rsquo;s Park Beach, including the Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club, the Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club, and the Highland Yacht Club, to name a few.The area may be bound by water on its southern side, however there&rsquo;s much more to Scarborough than just beaches and cliffs. The area reaches as far east as the Rouge River, and all the way north toward Steeles, while the western boundary can be found along Victoria Park Avenue.The multicultural reputation associated with Canada as a whole can truly be visualized in Scarborough. More than half of the population of Scarborough is foreign-born, and the area continues to attract newcomers to this day. Residents living in Scarborough condos for sale, regardless of their own ethnicity, can enjoy tasting the flavours of faraway places like Sri Lanka, India, China, and the Caribbean. An American economist even went so far as to say that the world&rsquo;s best ethnic food can be found right here in Scarborough.Beach? Check. Authentic world cuisine? Check. What about a national park? That&rsquo;s right, Scarborough really does have it all. A large portion of the area is a government-run park known as the Rouge National Urban Park. Rouge Park is free to visit, although there are fees for those who plan to camp out. Even with the cost of a campsite, though, it&rsquo;s worth it to not have to drive three hours north.

While this in fact 3 distinct neighbourhoods, most buyers will know the area simply as Port Royal &mdash; which is a shame, because Goldhawk is clearly the best name. The condo boom in Port Royal happened in the late 80s and early 90s, evidenced by the classic style high-rise towers in the neighbourhood: <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/88-alton-towers-circ-the-gatsby-condos">The Gatsby Condos</a>, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/80-alton-towers-circ-platinum-east-condos">Platinum East Condos</a>, and <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/350-alton-towers-circ-the-ambassadors-iii-condos">The Ambassadors III Condos</a> all have a similar aesthetic.Because most of the buildings in the area are older, condos for sale in Port Royal tend to have spacious floor plans. Some buyers might not adore the idea of an older building, as they can have dated units, but with the low price per square foot in this neighbourhood, putting your own personal touch on one of these suites could yield a nice return in the future.In keeping with the neighbourhood&rsquo;s family theme, many of the condos for sale in Port Royal are found in buildings with pools and tennis courts, ideal for keeping children entertained. And for those who would prefer the layout of a house, Mytko Garden has townhouses that offer more privacy than condos.

The Locals: Kids, growing families, kids, commuters, and kids&hellip;children.Code of Conduct: Mom jeans and New Balance sneakers.What You&rsquo;ll Find: Well groomed parks and cookie-cutter residential streets.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: Nightlife with a pulse.The Homes: Large suburban houses and traditional high-rise towers.Sealing the Deal: A safe setting to raise a family.

Port Royal | Goldhawk | Armdale

Given that this is a sprawling suburban neighbourhood, it&rsquo;s not particularly walkable. Public transit users have reasonable access to bus routes, and for longer trips, Milliken GO Station is just west of the neighbourhood.Port Royal condos for sale were meant for car owners &mdash; driver&rsquo;s can effortlessly reach the 401, 404, and 407.

Before becoming the picture of suburban living, this neighbourhood was once entirely made up of farmland. More than just a long name, the Port Royal, Goldhawk, and Armdale area is actually 3 distinct neighbourhoods combined, making it a more functional community &mdash; sort of like Captain Planet or Voltron, the neighbourhood edition.Armdale is found in the eastern portion of the neighbourhood, and is mostly commercial &mdash; home to tech companies, wholesale food distributors, corporate offices, storage facilities, service based businesses, and a number of big box stores and restaurants. There are additional shopping and dining options spread throughout the area, including Milliken Wells Shopping Centre which is found in the centre of the neighbourhood.The living experience in Port Royal and Goldhawk is almost indistinguishable from one another; both have winding residential streets with large single family homes, and a sprinkling of <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos">Toronto condo</a> buildings. The neighbourhood has several schools and a variety of recreation facilities, which makes condos for sale in Port Royal and Goldhawk a great choice for families.Though there are multiple green spaces in the area, Milliken District Park is by far the largest, featuring playgrounds, walking trails, and a community centre. One possible drawback to this neighbourhood is that entertainment options are almost entirely based around recreation, so those who crave a vibrant nightlife will need to find it elsewhere.
