Bickford Park Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Bickford Park is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the ambience of this part of Toronto. It is very easy to find vibrant streets in this part of Toronto. A broad selection of entertainment venues can be found nearby, there are very often crowds of people around, and places to go out at night are well-distributed throughout the neighbourhood. Bickford Park is reasonably quiet, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic. Greenery is quite present in this neighbourhood; there are approximately 30 public green spaces close by for residents to enjoy, like Christie Pits Park and Dufferin Grove Park, and they are especially well-located, which makes it very easy to reach them. In addition, residents will find that most streets have good tree coverage.

Transportation

Home buyers in this neighbourhood benefit from several choices to get around without the need for a car. It is very easy for pedestrians to navigate this part of Toronto; most day-to-day errands can be run without a car, and plenty of businesses are especially close at hand. Active house buyers will also appreciate the very bike-friendly nature of this neighbourhood. More specifically, the bicycling infrastructure is fairly good, and there is always a bike-share station close by. Owing to a multitude of nearby rapid transit stations with access to the Line 2 (Bloor - Danforth), and approximately 10 nearby bus lines, the public transit service in this part of the city is great. However, this part of Toronto is not an especially good part of Toronto for getting around by car because it is challenging to park, and almost none of the street network is made for driving.
