Scarborough Real Estate — Homes for Sale & Neighbourhood Guide
Explore homes for sale, market trends, and neighbourhood insights across one of Toronto's most diverse and expansive districts.
About Scarborough Real Estate
Scarborough is one of Toronto's most diverse and expansive districts, stretching across the eastern portion of the city from the Bluffs along Lake Ontario to the northern edge at Steeles Avenue. With a population exceeding 600,000, Scarborough is home to more than 100 distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character, housing stock, and community feel. What makes Scarborough attractive to buyers and investors is the combination of relative affordability compared with downtown Toronto, excellent transit connectivity (including the Scarborough Subway Extension and GO Transit access), and a wide range of housing types — from post-war bungalows and split-levels in Agincourt and Wexford to newer condo developments along McCowan Road and Midland Avenue.
Popular Scarborough Neighbourhoods
Agincourt
One of Scarborough's most established areas, known for its strong public and Catholic schools, vibrant Asian dining scene along Sheppard Avenue East, and a mix of detached homes from the 1960s through 1990s. A practical, family-friendly neighbourhood with quick access to the 401 and Highway 404.
Birchcliff
Perched near the Scarborough Bluffs, Birchcliff offers a village feel with rising home values driven by proximity to Bluffers Park, the waterfront trail, and upcoming transit improvements. A mix of modest bungalows and newer custom builds.
Bendale
Centred around the Scarborough Town Centre, Bendale combines transit convenience (STC is a major bus and future subway hub) with mid-range pricing. Townhouses and semi-detached homes are common, alongside newer condo and stacked townhouse developments.
Rouge
Bordering Rouge National Urban Park, this northeast corner of Scarborough attracts buyers looking for larger lots, newer builds, and proximity to nature. Detached homes dominate, with prices generally below comparable properties farther west in Markham.
Wexford
A mature neighbourhood with strong schools (including Wexford Collegiate) and excellent access to Victoria Park subway station and the Danforth. Older detached and semi-detached homes on generous lots, with renovation and severance potential.
What to Expect in the Scarborough Market
Scarborough offers one of the widest price ranges in the GTA. Entry-level condos start in the low $400,000s, semi-detached homes typically range from $700,000 to $900,000, and detached homes can range from $800,000 for a post-war bungalow to well over $1.5 million for a newer or fully renovated property. The market varies block by block — proximity to transit stations, school catchments, and lot size are the three biggest price drivers.
Why Work With a Scarborough Expert
Having sold 500+ homes across Scarborough and the wider GTA, I know these streets from the inside — which blocks flood, which schools are oversubscribed, where the city has approved new development, and what buyers at every price point are looking for. That local knowledge translates into better pricing for sellers and smarter offers for buyers.
