Earlier in the pandemic, you might have seen stories about how Torontonians were leaving the city to live in bigger houses in the suburbs. But if the recent increase in the value of homes here is any indication, Toronto real estate is still very much booming, especially in Scarborough.
According to a new report, home values in Scarborough have gone up 24% since March 2020 (compared to an increase of 21% across Toronto as a whole).
This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to Scarborough locals and lovers, though. They’re already well aware of how much the area offers, from its near-endless food options (Filipino fare, anyone?) to its epic outdoor activities (hike at the Bluffs before swimming or sunbathing at Bluffer’s Park Beach, one of Toronto’s top beaches).

And if all that hasn’t convinced you to consider a move to the city’s easternmost neighbourhood, these five stunning Scarborough homes should do the trick.
Here are 5 Showstopping Homes in Scarborough
A Dreamy Detached
Just two minutes away from the waterfront, this picturesque detached home in Port Union Village is a sanctuary in the city. Cozy up by the fireplace after walking one of the nearby Lake Ontario Trails, soak in the sun from the second-floor balcony, or start the morning off right with breakfast in the eat-in kitchen.
This Big, Bright Condo
The amount of living space in this 2,000+ sqft condo might be its main selling feature, but the incredible views are a close second. The southern-facing unit offers an unobstructed view of the lake — perfect for enjoying the sunset before taking a soak in the jacuzzi tub and heading to sleep in the massive primary bedroom.
This Tricked Out Townhouse
Steps away from some of Birchcliffe-Cliffside’s best cafés and shops, this modern townhouse was designed with optimal comfort in mind. The unit comes complete with upgraded walk-in closets, automatic blinds, and heated floors. Plus, its proximity to the TTC makes it ideal for anyone with a regular commute.
