Casa Loma Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Casa Loma is a great neighbourhood for those who enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. Finding things to do is easy in this part of Toronto. Even though there is a poor selection of entertainment venues, there are often many people around, and with the nightlife venues in nearby neighbourhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very close by. This part of Toronto also features a lot of greenery as many tree-lined streets are present. There are approximately 20 green spaces nearby for residents to enjoy, such as Sir Winston Churchill Park, and they are especially well-located, which makes them very easy to access.

Transportation

This part of the city is an excellent part of Toronto when it comes to travelling without driving. Active property owners will appreciate the especially pedestrian-friendly nature of Casa Loma; running daily errands is very convenient, and many businesses of different types can be found as well. Bicycling is popular in this neighbourhood because bike-share stations are hardly ever more than a short walk away. The public transit network in Casa Loma is very good. More precisely, rapid transit stations, such as Dupont Station - Northbound Platform and St Clair West Station - Southbound Platform on the Line 1 (Yonge-University), are generally nearby from most properties in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is served by about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. However, cars are a somewhat poor medium of transportation in this part of Toronto since coming across a parking spot is not very easy, and almost none of the street network is made for driving.

Housing

Large apartment buildings are the most common housing type, representing around half of dwellings in Casa Loma, while small apartment buildings and single detached homes are also present in the housing stock. This part of the city is primarily composed of two bedroom and one bedroom homes. The proportions of homeowners and renters are about even. About 45% of homes in this part of the city were constructed pre-1960, while the majority of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 2000s.
