About Scarborough Real Estate — Homes, Condos & Investment Properties
Scarborough has been the heart of my real estate practice since I began my career over 13 years ago. I know this community intimately — the streets, the schools, the transit connections, the hidden gem pockets, and the investment opportunities that others miss.
Why Buy in Scarborough?
Scarborough consistently offers exceptional value compared to other parts of Toronto. Detached homes, semi-detached properties, and condos are priced significantly lower than comparable properties west of the DVP, while offering the same access to downtown Toronto and the broader GTA.
Key drivers making Scarborough an outstanding choice in 2024 and beyond:
- Scarborough Subway Extension: Line 2 is extending to Scarborough Centre — driving long-term appreciation in surrounding neighbourhoods
- University of Toronto Scarborough: Consistent rental demand from students, faculty, and staff
- Centennial College: Additional rental demand and community investment
- The Scarborough Bluffs: 15km of stunning lakeside cliffs, parks, and beaches — a lifestyle amenity that commands premiums
- Diverse, established communities: Agincourt, Woburn, West Hill, Guildwood, Malvern — each with its own character and strong community identity
- Major employment centres: Scarborough Town Centre, hospitals, and proximity to the 401/407 corridor
Scarborough Real Estate by Property Type
Detached Homes
Scarborough’s detached housing stock ranges from post-war bungalows (ideal for investors adding legal basement suites) to newer two-storey family homes. Price range: approximately $900,000–$1,300,000 for most detached properties, with premium Bluffs-area properties reaching $1.5M+.
Condominiums
A growing condo market centred around Scarborough Town Centre, Kennedy Road, and Ellesmere. Price range: $450,000–$650,000 for most units. Strong rental demand makes these attractive for first-time buyers and investors alike.
Townhouses & Semi-Detached
Strong family demand for townhouses, particularly in Agincourt and Woburn. Price range: $750,000–$1,050,000. Limited supply keeps competition healthy in this segment.

My Scarborough Expertise
I’ve personally bought, sold, and invested in Scarborough properties throughout my career. I know which buildings have strong management, which streets have the best resale history, and which micro-pockets are poised for appreciation. This local intelligence is something no algorithm or out-of-area agent can replicate.
