During the post-war population boom there was a need for an increase in housing, which led to E.P. Taylor, who had bought the land, to build Toronto’s first master-planned Don Mills suburb. The entirely private project was inspired by the Garden City concept, with lots of room left for industry and parkland. The community ended up being a model for much of Canada’s future urban development and has become one of the most desirable areas in the city.
The Banbury-Don Mills Toronto neighbourhood is roughly bounded by York Mills Road to the north, the Don River to the east, Eglington to the south and Wilket Creek to the west. The area offers several schools, public libraries, community centres, child care service providers, and parks; including Wilket Creek Park which offers more than two kilometres of pedestrian/bicycle trails. Burnaby-Don Mills is also in close proximity to great restaurants, shopping such as Shops at Don Mills and convenient access to transit via TTC.
The Banbury-Don Mills Toronto neighbourhood predominantly consists of apartment units and single -detached houses; ranging from ranch-style houses to new condo developments. Housing prices vary in this area depending on the size and type of dwelling.
