If you’ve been shopping across Toronto and getting priced out of practical lot sizes, Scarborough is where your dollar actually works for you. I’ve worked this market for over 20 years from my local office on Deep Dene Drive, helping families, move-up buyers, and investors navigate every pocket from Birch Cliff along the lake up to Agincourt and the Rouge.
Below are active MLS® listings across Scarborough, refreshed every 30 minutes straight from the board. If you want an honest, boots-on-the-ground look at what a particular street or property is actually worth before you put pen to paper, reach out to me directly.
A lot of buyers make the mistake of treating Scarborough as one single homogenous market. In reality, purchasing a mid-century bungalow in Wexford on a 45-foot lot is completely different from buying a 4-level backsplit in Agincourt or a newer stacked townhome near Morningside.
What makes this area consistently resilient is land and connectivity. You can secure a private backyard, parking for three to four cars, and room for an in-law suite, while still staying within city transit. If you commute downtown, being near the Lakeshore East GO line (Rouge Hill, Guildwood, Scarborough GO) gets you to Union Station faster than driving in from most parts of Midtown or North York.
Before putting in an offer on any home in East Toronto, here are the real-world factors, hidden costs, and neighborhood quirks I walk my clients through:
Yes. Because Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, you have to pay both the Ontario Provincial Land Transfer Tax (PLTT) and the Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT). On a $1,000,000 purchase, you're looking at roughly $32,950 total in land transfer taxes before any first-time buyer credits.
If you cross the Rouge River into Pickering (Durham Region), you only pay the provincial tax, which keeps about $16,475 in your pocket at closing. That said, Toronto’s property tax rates are lower than Durham's, and your transit fares into downtown remain on a single fare. I usually run a 5-to-10-year holding cost comparison for my clients to see if that upfront closing savings actually beats the long-term carrying costs.
Toronto's zoning bylaws are among the most flexible in Ontario, allowing second suites and garden suites "as-of-right" on most residential lots. Many 1950s and 60s bungalows across Wexford, Bendale, and West Hill are sitting on 45-to-50-foot lots with existing side doors, which makes them great candidates for conversion.
However, getting a unit legal requires passing Ontario Building and Fire Code inspections: you need 6'5" finished ceiling height under ducts, proper egress windows in bedrooms, 30-to-45-minute fire-rated drywall separations, and dedicated parking. When I tour properties with buyers looking for rental help, we pull out a tape measure right in the basement before discussing offer numbers.
If you’re looking at homes backing onto ravines in Birch Cliff, Guildwood, or Rouge, parts of that property almost certainly fall under the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regulatory zone.
The privacy is incredible, but TRCA regulates slope stability, erosion hazards, and setbacks. That means you cannot simply dig a pool, pour a large concrete patio, or build a rear garden suite without TRCA permits—which are separate from City building permits. I always cross-reference the TRCA regulation mapping before we submit a clean, unconditional offer on any ravine-backing property.
Scarborough bungalows have incredible solid brick framing, but when we conduct home inspections, there are three items we check immediately:
The biggest myth about Scarborough is that it's an hour-long slog to downtown. It completely depends on your access to the Lakeshore East GO line.
If you live near Guildwood, Rouge Hill, or Scarborough GO, the train gets you to Union Station in 20 to 25 minutes flat—faster than driving from midtown Toronto. But if your daily routine requires taking two feeder buses just to get to Kennedy Station or Line 2, that same trip easily stretches to 50–60 minutes each way. I always ask my commuting clients to test-drive their exact morning route during peak hours before deciding on a neighborhood.
They’re one of the best entry points in Toronto. In areas like Malvern or Agincourt, you can get a 3-bedroom, 2-storey townhouse for significantly less than a freehold house, often with parking included.
The risk isn't the property itself—it's the condo corporation's Reserve Fund. Older townhouse complexes have massive exterior surfaces: roofs, brickwork, private roads, and water mains. If past boards kept fees artificially low, you could get hit with a hefty special assessment. That’s why having your lawyer do a fine-tooth review of the Status Certificate is a condition I fight to keep in your purchase agreement.
It comes down to when they were built. South and Central Scarborough (Birch Cliff, Cliffside, Wexford) were laid out in the 1940s and 1950s around bungalows and 1.5-storey homes. They routinely feature 45-to-60-foot wide lots with long side driveways, which makes that dirt extremely valuable today for future custom re-builds.
North Scarborough (Milliken, Agincourt, Malvern) was developed in the 1970s and 1980s when planning shifted toward density. Lots are narrower (30 to 40 feet), but they feature deeper backsplits, sidesplits, and traditional two-storey floor plans with built-in two-car garages and much more interior finished space.
Very strict. Scarborough has several high schools with premier academic and arts reputations, such as Agincourt Collegiate Institute and Dr. Norman Bethune C.I., as well as competitive French Immersion programs like Sir Oliver Mowat in Centennial.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) adjusts attendance boundaries frequently due to local capacity pressures. A house across the street from a school might technically fall into a different catchment. I always pull the official TDSB/TCDSB address registry for my buyers before we write up an offer to make sure their children are guaranteed a spot.
Certain parts of Scarborough sit on dense glacial clay, which holds water instead of letting it drain away quickly like sandy soil does. During heavy spring rain or fast snowmelts, that water exerts hydrostatic pressure against old block foundations.
When walking through a basement, I look for telltale efflorescence (white mineral powder on the foundation), musty odors, and outdated weeping tiles. I always check if the owner installed a backwater valve and a sump pump with a battery backup. The good news: the City of Toronto offers a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy that gives homeowners up to $3,400 to help install these protections.
The major game-changer right now is the Scarborough Subway Extension, which extends TTC Line 2 three stops deeper from Kennedy Station up to Sheppard Avenue East along McCowan. On top of that, there's the ongoing expansion of the University of Toronto Scarborough campus and future plans for the Eglinton East LRT.
Historically across the GTA, homes within a comfortable 10-to-15-minute walk of rapid transit stations see faster equity appreciation and lower rental vacancy than car-dependent pockets. If you buy near these corridors now, you're locking in today's prices ahead of future transit-driven appreciation.
