Kennedy Park - subway, GO and the Crosstown all in one neighbourhood
Kennedy Park is a southwest Scarborough community anchored by Kennedy station - where the subway, the GO train and the future Crosstown LRT all meet.
Kennedy Park overview
Kennedy Park (CDN 124) sits in southwest Scarborough, bounded approximately by Eglinton Avenue East to the north, St. Clair Avenue East to the south, Birchmount Road to the east and Midland Avenue to the west, with Kennedy Road forming its spine. The neighbourhood is centred on Kennedy station - the eastern terminus of the Bloor-Danforth subway, the Stouffville GO line's main Scarborough stop, and the future Crosstown LRT eastern terminus. No other neighbourhood in east Toronto has this combination of rapid-transit assets in one place.
Housing in Kennedy Park is dominated by 1940s-1960s detached, semi-detached and bungalow homes on 30-50 ft lots. There are also significant pockets of rental apartments and condo apartments along Eglinton and Kennedy, plus some townhouse complexes. The neighbourhood has historically been one of east Toronto's more attainable family-buyer markets.
Kennedy Park's defining feature - and its long-term real estate story - is transit. Kennedy station gives residents one-seat subway access to downtown, GO access to Union and Stouffville, and (when complete) Crosstown LRT access west to Yonge. The 401 is a short drive north via Kennedy. The 905 Eglinton East express connects to UTSC and east Scarborough.
Schools, parks and amenities include Cedarbrae CI, W.A. Porter CI and several TCDSB options; Mossgrove Park, Pine Hills Cemetery as a quiet adjacent green space, and the Eglinton commercial corridor for daily needs. Kennedy Square is the local shopping anchor.
From a real estate perspective Kennedy Park is one of the highest-upside neighbourhoods in southwest Scarborough because the combination of transit, attainable pricing and emerging Eglinton corridor density is a genuinely powerful long-term story. The Krzewski Group works this market with sharp, evidence-based marketing and patient negotiation.
