Situated at the heart of Scarborough as a symbol of its continued revitalization, Bendale is proof that Toronto’s master plan is working. The neighbourhood, situated just south of the 401 roughly between Midland Avenue and Bellamy Road, is notable for its charming streets, well-kept bungalows, tons of parkland, good public transit options and vibrant cultural mix of residents who just want to enjoy their peace and quiet.
Originally populated by British and other European immigrants in the 1960s, Bendale has since seen an influx of immigrants from all parts of the world, particularly Southeast Asia and China. The area is noted for its neighbourly feel and ample green spaces in a location that is a reasonable transit ride or highway drive from downtown Toronto.
Homes you’ll see: Developed primarily in the 1950s onwards, homes in Bendale are typically well maintained brick bungalows on traditional lots with sizeable front lawns. Split-level homes are popular in the area as well. Side streets are neat and mostly free of through traffic due to their winding, scenic nature, making them great to live on. Few high-rise buildings exist, giving the area a very expansive, suburban feel, though select sections along Ellesmere Road near the Scarborough Town Centre have seen a good share of new condo development.
