One parkette, Birchview Boulevard Parkette, and one childcare facility, Prince Edward Montessori School, complete the set.

They do not establish bus or subway frequencies, commute times, walkability scores or resident usage patterns.

City market context

From the Toronto market article, 22 September 2026:

Toronto's housing market exhibits a sharp divergence in supply conditions, with semi-detached inventory tightening to 2.4 months while condominium apartments remain at 5 months. This segment-specific pressure contrasts with a city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, signaling that buyer leverage varies significantly by property type. Toronto's resale market shows divergent supply tightness by property type, with semi-detached homes falling to 2.4 months of inventory and condominium apartments dropping from 7 to 5 months between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026. This segment-specific absorption outpaces the broader city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, indicating that buyer competition is concentrated in lower-inventory freehold and mid-tier condo segments rather than across the entire market.
