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.

It should come as no surprise that there are only a small number of condos for sale in Dean Park, and a couple others in Rouge. Five buildings in total area situated throughout the area, all of which can be found in the south end of the neighbourhood.<a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/10-dean-park-rd-camargue-ii-condos">Camargue II Condos</a> is great for families, as the largest units in the building reach to a generous 1,700 square feet. Plus, with 432 units spread out over 12 storeys, the chances that a unit will appear on the market from time to time are quite high. <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/2-hedge-end-rd-9420-9550-sheppard-ave-e-harmony-north-townhomes">Harmony North Townhomes</a> is ideal for those seeking townhomes, on the other hand. This particular townhouse complex contains an impressive 143 units, also increasing the odds for prospective buyers seeking homes here.And while the options for condos for sale in Dean Park may seem limited, buyers interested in the neighbourhood can expect more choices in years to come. The Towns at Rouge Valley, for example, are already on the way, with 144 homes slated for completion in 2019.

The Locals: Nature lovers and commuters.Code of Conduct: Residents might opt to spend weekends partaking in some urban camping, rather than heading to the bars.What You&rsquo;ll Find: Tons and tons of green space.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: An array of shops, restaurants, and bars.The Homes: Only a handful of condos can be found here &mdash; for now.Sealing the Deal: Living in Canada&rsquo;s biggest city, without feeling like you&rsquo;re living in a major metropolis.

Rouge | Dean Park | Brookside

The subway might not be within immediate reach, however thanks to the TTC&rsquo;s expansive bus network, it&rsquo;s easy to get around Rouge, Dean Park, and Brookside, even without a car. Buses along Sheppard and Kingston Road carry passengers toward the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown core</a>, while the 92 GO bus lands travelers at York Mills Station on the Yonge subway line.As for drivers, it certainly doesn&rsquo;t hurt to have the 401 within close reach. The stretch of the 401 that crosses Toronto also happens to be the busiest highway in North America, so those interested in condos for sale in Dean Park should remember to leave themselves some extra time during rush hour. For example, it takes just around 30 minutes to reach Pearson International Airport when traffic is light, but anyone heading to the airport after work should expect to be on the road for up to 45 minutes.

It&rsquo;s easy to forget you&rsquo;re in Toronto when visiting the Rouge, Dean Park, and Brookside neighbourhoods. With the area&rsquo;s higher proportion of green space to paved roadways, they all have the characteristics of urban, suburban, and rural neighbourhoods. Spread out from 401 to Steeles East, the eastern border of the area reaches all the way to the Pickering Town Line.While residential pockets exist throughout these three neighbourhoods, Rouge Park covers most of the land here. It&rsquo;s typically correct to think of <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/scarborough">Scarborough</a> as a pretty developed area, however this particular pocket happens to be home to Rouge Park, a National Urban Park.Hiking around Rouge Park is always an option, but Parks Canada also puts on programming including instructional workshops and fireside events. Urban camping is also made possible in Rouge Park, thanks to the Glen Rouge Campground that&rsquo;s situated close to the mouth of the Rouge River.Parks Canada is also working on expanding Rouge Park&rsquo;s official borders, which will eventually cover 79 square kilometres. Yet another clue that condos for sale in Dean Park are unlike any others in the city are the species of neighbours that live nearby. The animals living in Rouge Park are not normally associated with city life, such as otters, porcupines, bald eagles, turkeys, and swans. And speaking of animals, the Toronto Zoo is located just north of Dean Park and Rouge, and southeast of Brookside.The residential sections of the area are found in the northwest corner, as well as to the south near the 401. Most surprisingly, some farmland even sits in the northeast corner of the neighbourhood.
