Affluent families looking for large, turn-key houses for sale in Toronto who like the aesthetic of new builds.
Overview
Ledbury Park has undergone a massive transformation. Once a neighbourhood of modest, affordable bungalows dating from the first half of the 20th century, those looking for a Toronto home for sale in Ledbury Park will now find a wealth of newer, custom-built two- and three-storey family homes.
Builders have swept through the area over the last few decades scooping up the sprawling, original bungalows for land value and erecting what’s equated to an entirely new community in their place. Demographics have also changed from a low- to middle-income area to one of middle- to high-income families seeking large and lavish detached homes well over 2,000 sq. ft.
Beyond the quality and size of the homes for sale in Toronto Ledbury Park, it’s easy to see why this neighbourhood has become so hot. Its location provides convenient access to amenities, schools, shopping and transit and although the interior residential streets feel slightly tucked away from the bustle of the core, it’s only twenty minutes to downtown. It’s also a very welcoming community where families can put down roots.
Why We Love Ledbury Park
The Park’s a Gem
In the late 90s, Ledbury Park underwent a stunning $2.5M transformation by architectural firm Shim-Sutcliffe. The structural and landscaping transformation won the firm the Governor-General's Medal for Architecture.The park contains an outdoor pool, a beloved, trail-like outdoor rink that’s best described as a skating canal (it melts into a lovely pond in the spring), and an indoor multi-use facility. The architects preserved the park’s existing trees and added a further 150, mainly lindens that line the walkways, along with distinct character features like custom lampposts.
It’s not just Prime Real Estate, It’s Prime Shopping
The commercial strip along Avenue Road is so good that people travel in from other areas to shop here. It’s a foodie mecca with gourmet grocers like Pusateri’s and Avenue Seafood and it has revered home stores to decorate that lovely new abode.
