Bungalows For Sale in Danforth Village-East York

Many homes north of Danforth Avenue here are compact 1930s to 1950s bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses on narrow lots, often with a side drive or shared driveway. Their small footprints make them popular with first-time buyers and renovators, and similar homes appear in neighbouring Woodbine-Lumsden.

It is a common choice, because compact detached bungalows here often cost less than similar homes south of the Danforth in East End-Danforth, while Coxwell and Woodbine stations on Line 2 are within reach. Expect older systems and modest basements, so budget for updates.

Watch for lead water service lines, original clay sewer laterals, older wiring, shallow basements prone to dampness, and asbestos in old insulation or floor tiles. A sewer scope and an electrical review are worthwhile, especially if you want to add a legal basement apartment.

Many older homes here share a mutual driveway with the neighbour or have limited parking, which affects daily convenience and future plans such as a garage or an in-law suite. Check the survey and title for rights-of-way before you buy, and have your lawyer review any shared-drive arrangement.
