Welcome to Bedford Park
A breathtaking suburb that’s great for families.
This remarkable suburb north of Downtown Toronto is well known for its breathtaking streets and tranquil atmosphere. It’s full of contemporary amenities and is close to top-notch schools, drawing many families to the community. It’s also a convenient commute from the thriving city centre, making it easy to get to the office or an exciting cultural event.
Early on, Bedford Park was a small village where farmers would stop on their way into the markets in the city. When it began to be developed, it was thought to be a comfortable middle-class dwelling. However, it continued to blossom as the areas surrounding it were developed until it became the remarkable, upscale neighbourhood it is today.
Bedford Park has a variety of semi-detached and single-family homes that date back to the early 20th century. They’ve been well maintained, and there are a variety of styles, including Victorian and Edwardian. The area has also seen new constructions, bringing a more contemporary style to the neighbourhood.
