York University Heights Real Estate Overview
Surrounding communities might be of interest as well:
While the glass and concrete jungle of the Keele's Campus occupies a prominent place in the community, it is ensconced with beautiful homes and trendy condominiums set in lush greenery.
Steeles Avenue West and Sheppard Avenue West form the north and south boundaries of the neighbourhood, and Dufferin Street and Black Creek Parkland border the community on the east and west, respectively. Thanks to the university, the community is blessed with several bus service routes that have improved since the Spadina subway extension opened its doors. Plus, with both Highways 400 and 401 only a few kilometres away, commuting to and from the city is a breeze.
Home to a large number of schools, restaurants, shops, lush green parks, endless recreational facilities, bike lanes and pathways galore, and a great communal vibe, residents in this dynamic neighbourhood love calling it home.
Who Lives In York University Heights Homes
York University Heights is an ethnically diverse mix of people from different backgrounds. Compared to other patches of the city, this residential area is home a younger demographic, with 63% of the population belonging to the 20 to 54 age group. Families and young children are in abundance here as well, and residents enjoy their neighbours' company in this spirited suburb.
York University Heights Homes Are Perfect For
Thanks to the large presence of students in the area, the housing and cost of living expenses are driven down. For students who attend the university, growing families and young couples who don't mind the lifestyle differences that can sometimes cause tension between residents in the area, York University Heights is ideal.
York University Heights Homes Are Not So Perfect For
Located a little over 18 km away from Toronto's centre, those who are looking to cut their travel time short, this neighbourhood doesn't deliver the most practical solution. Also, seniors only constitute approximately 11% of the population, which is less compared to other northern communities of Toronto. Seniors looking for a neighbourhood offering an abundance of activities geared towards them may find this area lacking.
Life And Style, Amenities And Things To Do In York Univeristy Heights
York University Heights is a great place to call home. In addition to the eclectic blend of restaurants and retail stores that cater to the culturally vibrant population, the community also has an abundance of leisure and recreational options as well.
North of the 401 lies several strip malls and plazas, which are predominantly one-stop shops that provide residents with good retail therapy. And the neighbourhood's eateries that serve everything from Italian, Indian, Turkish and Mediterranean to Japanese, Russian, Afghani and Caribbean delights. Popular restaurants in the area include La Risa, Home Sweet Home, Taj Restaurant, Genji Sushi, Bamiyan Kabob, and Chicken Place, to name just a few.
Thanks to the many ravines and parks in the area like Derrydowns, Black Creek Parklands, G. Ross Lord, Northwood, and Grandvine and TopCliff Parks, residents enjoy walking, biking, jogging and hiking along the scenic trails. One of the city's hidden jewels is a community garden at Four Winds. Managed by the city, for a very nominal annual fee, residents of the neighbourhood can farm tiny patches of land, which is a unique eco-friendly experience the kids enjoy.
With regards to the recreational venues in the area, since quite a few of the university's facilities are open to the public, residents feel free to use the well equipped athletic centre and various libraries on campus. Both the Antibes and Driftwood Community Centres provide even more recreational options in the way of swimming, basketball, soccer, hockey, Tai Chi, yoga, pilates, cooking classes, leadership programmes, a myriad of music and dance classes, and a whole lot more.
Tennis is big in York University Heights, and young athletes head over to Aviva Centre. Formerly known as the Rexhall Centre, it houses 11 tennis courts, an expansive12,500-capacity tennis stadium and hosts the Rogers Cup, a professional tennis tournament on the ATP World Tour and WTA circuits, which is held here every year.
Schools abound in the neighbourhood as well, making it a strong draw for families. From St. Wilfrid Elementary, St. Jerom Elementary, Derrydown Public School, Elia Middle School and James Cardinal McGuigan Secondary to Stilecroft Public School, Lamberton Public School, Africenri Alternative School and of course York University's Keele Campus, there is a plethora of great educational establishments. With fifteen public and separate board elementary schools in the area, parents and kids have plenty of options.
York University Heights Real Estate Market
Homes for sale in York University Height are mainly comprised of private homes, a large percentage of which are detached and semi-detached bungalows and townhouses. That said, there are also some low rise apartments, condominiums and a few high rise apartment buildings in the community as well, which are primarily home to students.
The Village at York University is one of the latest new-home developments in the vicinity. Constituting over 800 addresses, the project includes semi-detached and detached homes, and condominium townhouses. The developmental design is loosely referred to as "new urbanism" and is an amalgamation of garages opening to laneways in the back and an abundance of terrace and balcony space.
While 54% of residents own their properties, the remaining 46% are renters, so there are plenty of lucrative investment opportunities for investors and homeowners alike.
With its current lively vibe, affordable housing, a range of amenities and excellent recreational options for just about everyone, York University Height is undoubtedly a great place to call home.
