Cliffcrest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cliffcrest is a neighborhood in the city of Toronto, Canada—more specifically, located in Scarborough. The neighborhood runs along Lake Ontario to the south and is bordered by Midland Ave. to the west, the Canadian National Railway to the north, and Bellamy Rd. to the east.

[edit] Overview

The name Cliffcrest is in reference to the Scarborough Bluffs, which are land formations along the water's edge. The neighborhood feels much more like being at a cottage than being in Canada's largest and most densely populated city. The Bluffs, which are sandy cliffs, look over both Lake Ontario and the swans and other wildlife that lie below.

For a cottage in the city, the average value of homes is only middle of the pack, making it affordable by Toronto standards. Most homes are single, detached houses with a high ownership rate. There are fewer high or low rise buildings in this area.
