Swansea Real Estate Overview
Surrounding communities might be of interest as well:
Swansea has Humber Bay to its South, Humber River forms its western boundary, and the community of High Park the East. On the north side, Bloor Street West forms the border for this neighbourhood. Interestingly, Swansea is the only neighbourhood in Toronto to have a Townhall that is run by the community.
The location has historical significance, as well. The mouth of the Humber River was the southern end of the pathway the First Nations people traversed when they moved from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. Swansea became a village in the year 1926. Later on, in 1967, it was annexed into the City of Toronto.
Who Lives in Swansea Homes
There is a minority representation in Swansea and the most common non- Canadians you will come across are Eastern Europeans. Except to hear Polish being spoken in some parts and also Ukrainian and Serbian here, apart from English.
Swansea Homes Are Perfect For
If you have always wanted to live in a place that gave off the impression of being in the middle of a woodsy nook, this is where you should be settling down. The neighbourhood is ideal for middle income and high-income groups, with its condos and townhouses being the right choice for mid-budget homes owners and sprawling bungalows for premium property seekers.
Swansea Homes Are Not So Perfect For
If you are looking for a starter home, this may not be the right spot to start searching. Also, if you wish to enjoy the buzz and hype of the city’s center, the relative peaceful lifestyle in Swansea may put you off.
Life And Style, Amenities And Things To Do In Swansea
The natural features surrounding Swansea make it a beautiful place to explore for residents and newcomers. The bodies of water around the neighbourhood are great spots for a family picnic or hiking trip. With hills, the riverside, the lakeside and the tree-shaded pathways inside the community, Swansea residents have plenty of locations to cover on their daily walks or jogs. Head to Grenadier Pond, Rennie Pond, or Humber River and challenge yourself with the trek down to the waterside. The steep bankside makes it a great place to exercise and take advantage of the natural terrain.
At the Swansea Town Hall and Community Centre, you have a well- equipped gymnasium. The Swansea Memorial Public Library is also located within these premises. One of the smallest branches of the Toronto Public Library network, it has many books for children and elders.
There is plenty of green spaces here, and one of the most popular spots is Rennie Park. This park has four tennis courts, a wading pool and an artificial ice rink. There is also High Park offering fishing apart from its train rides and zoo. An excellent place for families with children, High Park also has historical exhibits as well as a restaurant and fitness areas.
Apart from the beautiful scenic spots here, Swansea is also a great place for food lovers. Its proximity to Bloor West Village shopping district is the most appealing actor for foodies. After all, you have some of Toronto’s best bakeries and delicatessens right here in Bloor West Village. Add to this the many food joints that promise something new and innovative, such as the Cheese Boutique. You can experience a modern twist on traditional Latin America cuisine if you head to Bloom Restaurant.
For families with children, you can choose between Swansea Junior and Senior Public School, Humberside Montessori School and St. Pius X Catholic Elementary School. Access to the rest of Toronto via public transport is easy thanks to bus routes running through Windermere Avenue and Morningside Avenue. You can walk up to the Bloor-Danforth subway line stations since both Runnymede and Jane stations lie quite close by. Located minutes from the major roads, Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard, driving down to various parts is quick and painless as well.
