Bungalows For Sale in Lawrence Park South

Mostly detached two-storey homes built from the 1910s through the 1930s, many in Tudor or Georgian revival styles, on deeper lots than you’ll find closer to downtown. True bungalows are uncommon and often bought to renovate or rebuild; further west, Englemount-Lawrence has many more postwar bungalows.

Look for remaining knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized or lead water service lines, original clay or cast iron sewer laterals and basement moisture, and consider a backwater valve if there isn’t one. Many homes have been updated, so ask for permits and records, and factor repair costs in when you review recent sales.

Mature trees on private property are protected under the City’s tree bylaw, and any lot near a ravine falls under the ravine and natural feature protection bylaw, so additions and rebuilds can require permits or arborist reports. Check the lot’s status before planning a second storey or a bungaloft addition.

Families wanting larger lots and well-regarded schools are the main buyers, though downsizers already living in midtown sometimes look for a smaller detached home here; confirm school boundaries with the board. North of Lawrence, Bedford Park-Nortown has more modest older homes, and the downsizing guide helps if you’re scaling down.
