Located in the nearby community of Humberlea, The Cross Centre is home to a variety of businesses.

Weston Real Estate Market

Weston homes for sale are an eclectic mix of housing options. With a rich history that goes back to the late 18th century, the neighbourhood's real estate primarily comprises beautiful Victorian residences from that era. While these dwellings are mostly relegated to the east of the railway line, 1900 Edwardian style houses are spread across the south of Church Street.

On the flip side, homes for sale in the northern patches of the community around Fairglen Crescent and Pelmo Park are comparatively newer, having sprung up in the late 1940s to early 1960s. These residences mainly constitute ranch-style bungalows, Tudor style houses, and back and side-split dwellings.

Weston Road is also lined with trendy condominium towers and apartment buildings that provide inhabitants with scenic views of Humber River Valley below. A majority of the buildings in this vicinity represent early to mid-20th-century Ontario style architecture, and the rustic brick buildings feature pretty ornate masonry details.

Today, though there are over 7,000 homes in the community, recently, residential construction has been taking shape on what was previously commercial and industrial land.

With a renewed popularity of the neighbourhood and more residential development in the pipeline, potential homeowners and investors have even more choices. Situated a perfect distance away from the humdrum of city limits but with a plethora of amenities right at its threshold and a great communal vibe, it isn't surprising that Weston is fast becoming a real estate hot spot.
