L'Amoreaux - north Scarborough's quietly diverse community
L'Amoreaux is a large, ethnically diverse north Scarborough community, with detached and condo housing, strong parks and a hub of community activity at L'Amoreaux Park.
L'Amoreaux overview
L'Amoreaux (CDN 117 East / CDN 118 West) sits in north Scarborough, bounded approximately by Steeles Avenue East to the north, Finch Avenue East to the south, Warden Avenue to the west and Kennedy Road to the east. The name comes from the Huguenot L'Amoreaux family who farmed the area in the 19th century. Today L'Amoreaux is one of the most ethnically diverse parts of Toronto, with strong Chinese, South Asian, Filipino and Caribbean communities.
Housing is a varied mix: 1960s-1980s detached two-storey and side-split homes on 35-50 ft lots, large semi-detached pockets, townhouse complexes, and a significant inventory of high-rise condo apartments along Sheppard, Finch, and the Bridlewood / L'Amoreaux complexes. The neighbourhood is one of the more high-density family neighbourhoods in north Scarborough.
L'Amoreaux Park - a large urban park with sports fields, a pool, baseball diamonds, walking trails and a year-round community recreation centre - is the heart of community life. The Bridlewood Mall and the Bamburgh Circle commercial complex serve daily shopping needs. The TTC 39 Finch East, 53 Steeles East and 24 Victoria Park routes connect to Finch and Sheppard subway stations.
Schools include the catchments of Sir John A. Macdonald CI, Stephen Leacock CI and several TDSB elementary options, plus TCDSB choices. The area is well known for strong heritage-language programming and active community involvement.
From a real estate perspective L'Amoreaux is one of the more attainable north Scarborough family markets, with strong demand from young families, new Canadians and investors. The Krzewski Group works it with proper marketing and accurate pricing.
