Pleasant View Real Estate Overview
Surrounding communities might be of interest as well:
The neighbourhood of Pleasant View looks calm enough, and its broad streets and older homes give it the vibe of a long-established community. Popular culture has made associations with the names Van Horne and Lucifer Avenues.
Van Horne Avenue honours William Cornelius Van Horne, the railroad tycoon from the 19th century. On the other hand, the city's Survey and Mapping Services division says that the origin of Lucifer Drive's name dates back to 1968. They theorize that the street may have been named so to honour an early type of match stick. It could also have rooted from a tradition of naming the area's streets after the stable of racehorses owned by the developer. Today, the neighbourhood of Pleasant View is a charming Toronto community, exuding a fast-paced and urban vibe, despite having an over-a-century-old history. It's a neighbourhood that provides an enriching atmosphere and draws homebuyers from all over the country and the world.
Who Lives In Pleasant View Homes
With great retail convenience, schools, and transit options, the Pleasant View neighbourhood houses many families from North Toronto. The area has a growing population of immigrants and has seen many Chinese settling here over the years. Among many others, Pleasant View is known to have a sizeable Italian and Greek population. The percentage of homeowners in this neighbourhood is huge, and it would be considered more like a middle-income community, with residents on both ends of the spectrum. It's an extremely family-centric neighbourhood with a couple of senior citizens that have owned properties here for several years.
Pleasant View Homes Are Perfect For
The neighbourhood of Pleasant View is welcoming to almost all kinds of households, but the best part of it is its multiculturalism and natural landscapes. As such, it is a perfect settlement destination for anyone who's looking for socializing and networking opportunities with a diverse population. It's also an ideal neighbourhood for young families (with or without kids) and senior citizens; they can access amenities in North Toronto and enjoy plenty of open spaces.
Pleasant View Are Not So Perfect For
Major streets like Sheppard, Finch and Victoria Park can get clogged with traffic sometimes, often proving frustrating for residents. So, it isn't the perfect neighbourhood for those who are looking for noise-free living spaces. At the same time, those looking for enhanced luxury and comfort may find the middle-income housing slightly below their expectations. Pleasant view homes for sale are rare, making it difficult for homebuyers looking for quick deals.
Life And Style, Amenities And Things To Do In Pleasant View
Given its convenient location in Toronto's North York district, the Pleasant View neighbourhood is coveted by homebuyers. Once people settle in this neighbourhood, they are likely to develop an active and fun lifestyle as they can access all the commercial and recreational options here.
In terms of accessibility, Pleasant View has public transportation provided by the Toronto Transit Commission bus system. Located to the west, in Don Mills, is Don Mills station, from where residents can access TTC's Line 4 Sheppard.
Families residing in the Pleasant View neighbourhood are often seen enjoying their time in expansive parks. Fitness-freaks, who can't live without their daily dose of physical activity, can be seen jogging or strolling in Van Horne Park. This 95-acre park sprawls over Montgomery and Rocky Hill townships and has walking trails, soccer and baseball fields, and two all-age climbing frames.
Seniors of the neighbourhood are also seen enjoying the quiet and often reside with their children and grandchildren.
The Pleasant View neighbourhood is exceptionally suitable for families with kids as it has plenty of good schools. These include Cherokee Public School, Pleasant View Junior High School, Ernest Public School, Muirhead Public School, St. Gerald Elementary, Brian Public School, and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Elementary.
For additional recreational amenities, kids and adults go to the Pleasant View Community Centre, located on Van Horne Avenue. This multi-purpose facility offers programs for preschoolers, youth, adults and older adults. There is also a branch of the Toronto Public Library, a place where bookworms spend some enriching time going through old to new reading materials and books.
Many Pleasant View residents own vehicles and use them to run errands and commute to work. Major highways, 404, 401 and the Don Valley Parkway, can be reached easily from the neighbourhood by car.
Food-lovers, families and youngsters residing in the community find plenty of eateries and restaurants. Basilico Italian Bistro (for simple, but flavourful Italian cuisine), Aoyama & Sushi Restaurant (for fresh sashimi), Red Sail Boat Bakery (for lovely bakes), Purdy's Chocolates (for drowning in chocolates), and Peter's Reggae Kitchen (for a spread of delectable family-oriented dishes) are a few of them doting the neighbourhood.
Residents can also visit Pinto Park, Pleasant View Park, Muirhead Park, Clydesdale Park, Old Sheppard Park and Hickorynutt Parkette. No matter what, Pleasant View's residents have a balanced lifestyle, giving them enough opportunities to rejuvenate themselves despite a hectic professional schedule.
Pleasant View Real Estate Market
Compared to other neighbourhoods in this corner of Toronto, Pleasant View is more skewed towards a middle-income housing mix. The vast majority of homes for sale in Pleasant View are detached homes, along with a few semi-detached, townhouse and high-rise apartment buildings.
Given that this neighbourhood is located close to Finch Station on the Yonge subway line, housing prices tend to be higher here than other North York neighbourhoods. However, certain lifestyle aspects, such as food, shopping and entertainment options, are pocket-friendly, making Pleasant View overall an affordable place to live.
