Elms-Old Rexdale Bungalows For Sale

Much of the area was built from the 1950s through the 1960s, so modest brick bungalows and backsplits on regular suburban lots are common. Many have side doors that make a lower-level suite practical, which is part of why the area appeals to both families and investors comparing Etobicoke bungalows.

Line 6 Finch West runs along Finch Avenue nearby, linking east to Finch West station on Line 1 and west to Humber College. For buyers without a car that is a real improvement over relying only on buses, and homes within walking distance of a stop may draw more renter interest if you plan a legal basement unit.

Ask about the electrical panel and any remaining original wiring, galvanized supply pipes, the age of the sewer lateral, and whether a backwater valve is installed. Older insulation, vinyl floor tiles and pipe wrap can contain asbestos, so test before renovating. Homes across the Humber in Humbermede are of a similar age and deserve the same checks.

The Humber River valley lies near the area’s eastern edge, with trails and green space that connect north toward Thistletown-Beaumonde Heights and south along the river. Smaller neighbourhood parks are scattered through the residential streets, so walk the block and check what backs onto a lot before you buy.
