The city of
Scarborough is part of the newly created Greater Toronto Area and
borders along Toronto’s East Side. Scarborough covers a large
area and is home to numerous apartment complexes and housing rentals.
The average price of an apartment is generally lower then it would be
in Toronto due to the simple fact that the city of Scarborough is
located further away from Toronto’s downtown core.
 
The centre of Scarborough is located in
the northern part of the city, right next to Highway 401. City
Hall is located in a section of land that is home to many government
buildings and the Y.M.C.A. Also located next to City Hall is
Scarborough’s biggest mall, the Scarborough Town Centre. With
access off of McCowen or Brimley Rd., the mall has recently been
renovated with new stores and restaurants and has also added a series
of gigantic movie theatres that are second to none.
 
One of the nicest areas in Scarborough
is situated in the southern part of the city and just south of
Kingston Rd. The Scarborough Bluffs and Bluffers Park are
heavily used by both tourists and families that are out for a break
from the hectic lifestyle of the city. The Bluffs is also a
favorite with many boaters as it hosts numerous marinas and its
closeness to Toronto’s downtown core makes it quite accessible to
everyone.
Located in Scarborough’s northeast
corner is Agincourt. This area has a large Asian population and
the stores and restaurants are dominated by Asian writing. This
is a great area to have a nice meal and also provides some of
Scarborough’s best shopping. All throughout Scarborough there are a
number of schools and none are known better then Woburn Collegiate
which is situated on Ellesmere Ave., just east of Markham Rd.
 
Throughout the city of Scarborough,
apartment complexes cover the skyline, which have a wide range of
prices. Scarborough is a city that is extremely multicultural
which allows for great diversity in everything from stores restaurants
and entertainment. The city offers a little bit of everything to
everybody and it is easy to find a great place to live.
