First-time homebuyers and young families looking for houses for sale in Toronto in an affordable community near a multitude of amenities.
Overview
Fairbank is a multi-cultural Toronto neighbourhood known for its rolling hills, modestly-priced Toronto homes for sale and convenient access to transit and a variety of shopping districts along Eglinton, St. Clair, Castlefield, Caledonia and Dufferin. The demographic make-up of Fairbank is diverse including large Portuguese, Italian and West Indian communities that make the area a vibrant and eclectic place to live.
Fairbank is in close proximity to everything young families need including schools, shopping, parks, a great community centre, clinics, playgrounds, a public swimming pool and public transit.
Fairbank homes for sale are a mix of modest worker’s homes from the early 1900’s and post-war bungalows to larger, custom homes.
The most picturesque area of the community is in the centre where pretty houses are perched atop hills giving the area an older, historic feel that pre-dates its actual roots. Properties are very well-priced making Fairbank a good choice for first-time buyers and families priced out of the more affluent areas to the east.
