Steeles - quiet north Scarborough streets along the 407
The Steeles neighbourhood occupies the northernmost stretch of Scarborough between the older Agincourt area and Steeles Avenue East, anchored by quiet detached subdivisions and the Bridlewood / Bamburgh complexes.
Steeles overview
The Steeles neighbourhood (CDN 116) sits along Steeles Avenue East in north Scarborough, bounded approximately by Warden Avenue to the west, Birchmount Road to the east, Finch Avenue East to the south, and Steeles Avenue East to the north. It developed primarily through the 1970s and 1980s as part of north Scarborough's planned residential expansion.
Housing in Steeles is dominated by 1970s-1990s detached two-storey homes, side-splits and bungalows on 30-50 ft lots, with substantial pockets of townhouses and condo townhouses, and high-rise condo apartments along Steeles, Finch and Warden. The Bridlewood and Bamburgh Circle complexes are particularly recognizable, with their own community amenities and active resident associations.
Transit and access are practical. Hwy 407 is just across Steeles (a short hop north), and the Stouffville GO line at Milliken station is a 5-minute drive east. The TTC 53 Steeles East, 24 Victoria Park and 17 Birchmount routes serve surface transit to Finch and Sheppard subway stations.
Schools include the catchments of Sir John A. Macdonald CI and Stephen Leacock CI, plus several TDSB and TCDSB elementary options. L'Amoreaux Park, Goldhawk Park and the Bridlewood Mall serve as community anchors.
From a real estate perspective the Steeles neighbourhood is a steady, family-oriented north-Scarborough market with strong long-term demand. The Krzewski Group brings the same proper, evidence-based marketing process here that we use everywhere else.
