Key TakeAways
- One of Scarborough’s earliest settlements: founded in the 1830s as a crossroads village, Scarborough Village became the first community in the former Township of Scarborough to get its own post office, back in 1832.
- A neighbourhood of two halves: more affordable apartment and public housing near Eglinton Avenue contrasts with executive homes overlooking Lake Ontario south of Kingston Road.
- Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue is the commercial and community hub: the area is locally known as “Markham and Eglinton” or “M and E,” anchored by Markington Square.
- Lake Ontario and the Scarborough Bluffs are minutes away: waterfront parks and escarpment views sit just south of the neighbourhood’s residential streets.
- Real transit and infrastructure investment underway: the Scarborough Village Streets Plan is in its second phase, alongside the planned Eglinton East LRT and active cycling-safety projects on Kingston Road and Eglinton Avenue East.
Scarborough Village: At A Glance
🚗 Driving
Kingston Road, Morningside Avenue, and Lawrence Avenue East are the neighbourhood’s main arterials. The Morningside Avenue on-ramp to Highway 401 is about five minutes from most of West Hill, giving quick access to both the DVP/downtown and points east toward Durham Region.
Why You’ll Love The Scarborough Village
Lifestyle
Scarborough Village has genuine historical depth — it was one of the earliest settlements in the former Township of Scarborough, tracing back to the 1830s. Today it’s a diverse, mixed-income community, locally known as “Markham and Eglinton” or “M and E,” with a real mix of housing types and a settled, multicultural population.
Location
Sitting in south-central Scarborough, the neighbourhood runs from the CN railway tracks in the north down to Lake Ontario and Bellamy Ravine Creek in the south, bordered by Bellamy Road to the west and Scarborough Golf Club Road/Bethune Boulevard to the east. It shares its borders with Guildwood and Cliffcrest, and the Scarborough Bluffs and waterfront parks are just minutes from most homes.
Housing
The neighbourhood offers real range — more affordable apartment and public housing clusters near Eglinton Avenue, while executive-style detached homes overlooking Lake Ontario sit south of Kingston Road. That spread means buyers can find very different price points and living styles without leaving the same community.

Scarborough Village
Housing Snapshot
Scarborough Village’s housing stock is genuinely mixed — private and public housing, high-rise apartment complexes, a handful of condominiums, and detached homes all sit within the same neighbourhood boundary. July 2026’s Habistat data reflects that range: of 29 active listings, 11 were detached, 10 were condo apartments, 3 were condo townhouses, and the balance split across semi-detached, attached/row townhouse, a commercial-element condo, and a vacant land parcel.
That mix makes Scarborough Village workable for a genuinely wide range of buyers. Condo apartments closed around $375,000 in July, some of the most accessible pricing in the E08 district, while detached homes — concentrated in the more executive pocket south of Kingston Road — averaged over $1.6 million. First-time buyers and investors tend to gravitate toward the apartment and condo stock near Eglinton Avenue, while move-up buyers and those seeking lake views look south toward the Bluffs.
Development activity here is more about public infrastructure than private redevelopment. The City’s Scarborough Village Streets Plan is in its second public-consultation phase, and the neighbourhood sits along the path of cycling-safety improvements on both Kingston Road and Eglinton Avenue East, plus the longer-term Eglinton East LRT project — infrastructure that could meaningfully change how the neighbourhood connects to the rest of Scarborough over the coming years.
Scarborough Village Market Trends
Across the Greater Toronto Area, TRREB reported 5,995 sales in July 2026, down 0.9% year-over-year, alongside 14,484 new listings (down 17.8% YoY) and an average price of $1,003,956 (down 4.5% YoY). The City of Toronto outperformed the wider region, with sales up 2.4% YoY to 2,242.
Scarborough Village saw modest sales volume in July — 5 sales against 25 new listings — but the numbers tell a story of two distinct markets within one neighbourhood. The 3 detached sales averaged $1,618,333 (median $1,455,000) at 93% of asking after about a month on market, reflecting the more executive homes south of Kingston Road. The 2 condo apartment sales, by contrast, averaged just $375,000 but took considerably longer to sell — a median 104 days on market — before closing at 94% of asking. With 29 active listings against only 5 July sales, this reads as a buyer’s market overall, a notable contrast to the tighter conditions seen elsewhere in eastern Scarborough this month.

"Townhouse" combines Attached/Row Townhouse (1 active, no July sale) and Condo Townhouse (3 active, no July sale) per this site's standard convention. Also on record: 1 Comm Element Condo and 1 Vacant Land listing active in July (no sales) plus 1 "Other" new listing — none of these fit the four standard property types, so they're excluded from the table above.
*Habistat data for this report includes LDOM (Listing Days on Market) rather than the TRREB-standard PDOM figure — shown here as Avg. LDOM and not directly comparable to PDOM-based figures elsewhere on this site. Active listings (29 total: 11 Detached, 10 Condo Apt, 3 Condo Townhouse, 2 Semi-Detached, 1 Att/Row Townhouse, 1 Comm Element Condo, 1 Vacant Land) come from a separate active-only Habistat export (Sold Price count of 0, Status limited to NEW/PC) and reflect a live snapshot at time of writing — distinct from, and not directly additive to, the dated July 1-31, 2026 closed-sales figures elsewhere on this card. That puts Scarborough Village's months of inventory at roughly 5.8 (29 active ÷ 5 July sales) — a noticeably softer market than several neighbouring communities this period.

Scarborough Village: Transit & Commuting
Guildwood’s biggest transit advantage is having its own GO station right in the neighbourhood, putting downtown within reach without a car — something most of Scarborough east of the Bluffs doesn’t have.
🚇 Public Transit
Eglinton GO Station, just west of Bellamy Road on the Lakeshore East line, offers commuters a roughly 20-minute direct train ride to Union Station. TTC bus routes serve the neighbourhood along Bellamy, Markham, and Scarborough Golf Club Roads as well as Eglinton Avenue, with connections to Kennedy Station on Line 2 for subway access.
🚗 Driving
Markham Road provides the most direct route to Highway 401, roughly 10 minutes away, while Kingston Road offers a scenic if slower route toward downtown, about 25 minutes away. Eglinton Avenue East runs through the heart of the neighbourhood, connecting to shopping plazas and the GO station.
🚶 Walking & Cycling
Cycling infrastructure is actively improving here — the Safer Kingston Road Project and upcoming Eglinton Avenue East Cycling and Safety Improvements are both underway, filling gaps in the neighbourhood’s bike network. Walkability is strongest near Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue, where daily shopping and services cluster within a short walk of most apartment buildings.
Commuting Insight
Scarborough Village has no subway of its own, but Eglinton GO Station puts a fast, direct downtown commute within reach, and the neighbourhood is well served by local buses along its main roads.
| Destination | Drive* | Transit* |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Toronto (Union Station) | ~25 min | ~20 min (Eglinton GO direct) |
| Kennedy Station (Line 2) | ~10 min | ~15-20 min (bus) |
| Scarborough Town Centre | ~15 min | ~25 min (bus) |
| Toronto Pearson International Airport | ~50 min | ~80 min (GO + subway + UP Express) |

Shopping & Dining in Scarborough Village
Eglinton Avenue East is Scarborough Village’s shopping spine, lined with small plazas that cover day-to-day needs, anchored by Markington Square at the neighbourhood’s historic Markham-Eglinton crossroads.
🛍️ Local Shopping
Markington Square, at Eglinton Avenue and Markham Road, is the neighbourhood’s central shopping destination, sitting at the same crossroads where Scarborough Village began as a settlement in the 1830s.
🍴 Dining and Cafés
Dining here is practical and varied rather than destination-driven — small plazas along Eglinton Avenue East offer a mix of restaurants, convenience food, and quick-service options reflecting the neighbourhood’s diverse population.
🛒 Nearby Shopping Destinations
The many small shopping plazas along Eglinton Avenue also include convenience stores, food markets, and new and used car dealerships. For bigger-box retail, residents typically head toward Kennedy Road or Scarborough Town Centre, both a short drive away.

| Markington Square (Eglinton Ave & Markham Rd) | Neighbourhood shopping centre at the historic village crossroads |

Future Growth & Development
🛈 Growth Corridor
Eglinton Avenue East is Scarborough Village’s growth corridor to watch, both for near-term street safety work and the longer-term Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) project, which is planned to run along this corridor and would meaningfully improve transit access for the neighbourhood.
🏠 New Housing & Development Proposals
There’s no large-scale residential redevelopment publicly proposed for Scarborough Village at this time — the neighbourhood’s growth story is currently centred on public infrastructure rather than new housing supply.
🏆 Infrastructure & Community Initiatives
The Scarborough Village Streets Plan is actively moving through its second public-consultation phase (materials published November 2025), building on speed-limit reductions already implemented on local and collector roads. The plan targets streets including Mason Road, Windy Ridge Drive, and Bellhaven Crescent for further traffic-calming, in response to school-related congestion and drivers cutting through the neighbourhood to bypass Kingston Road and Eglinton Avenue East. Alongside this, the City is advancing the Safer Kingston Road Project and Eglinton Avenue East Cycling and Safety Improvements, and continuing to plan the Eglinton East LRT — together, a genuine package of mobility investment for the neighbourhood. Scarborough Village has also been part of the City’s Neighbourhood Improvement Area program since 2014.
| Area of Change | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Scarborough Village Streets Plan | Phase 2 traffic-calming consultation underway, targeting streets including Mason Road and Windy Ridge Drive |
| Safer Kingston Road Project | Cycling and safety improvements along Kingston Road |
| Eglinton Avenue East Cycling Improvements | Planned safety upgrades along the corridor |
| Eglinton East LRT (EELRT) | Longer-term rapid transit project planned for the Eglinton East corridor |
| Neighbourhood Improvement Area status | Continued City investment since the 2014 designation |
Overall, Scarborough Village’s near-term growth is about mobility and safety rather than new housing — the combination of the Streets Plan, cycling improvements, and the longer-term EELRT points to a neighbourhood the City is actively working to better connect, even as its residential character stays largely the same.
My Local Perspective
Price points in Scarborough Village split more sharply than in most neighbourhoods I cover — condo apartments near Eglinton Avenue traded around $375,000 in July, while detached homes south of Kingston Road averaged over $1.6 million. That’s less a gradient and more two distinct markets sharing one neighbourhood name, and it’s worth being clear with buyers about which side of that split they’re actually shopping in.
What makes Scarborough Village interesting right now is the gap between its softer resale market — 29 active listings against just 5 July sales, a buyer’s market by most measures — and the genuine public investment underway in streets, cycling infrastructure, and transit. That combination can be a real opportunity for patient buyers: less competition today, with meaningful upside if the Eglinton East LRT and ongoing Streets Plan work land as planned.
The value proposition here depends heavily on what you’re buying. For a condo buyer, it’s an accessible entry point into Toronto with a direct GO connection downtown. For someone shopping the detached market south of Kingston Road, it’s genuine lake-adjacent living at a discount to more established waterfront communities like Guildwood or Birch Cliff, with room to see if the neighbourhood’s public investment translates into price appreciation over the next several years.
Scarborough Village may appeal to:
- First-time buyers and investors targeting the neighbourhood’s more affordable condo stock
- Patient buyers comfortable with a softer, less competitive resale market today
- Families who want local schools and parks without lakefront prices
- Buyers optimistic about the Eglinton East LRT and the neighbourhood’s ongoing street investment
