Beautiful Etobicoke Homes

Alderwood is known for its single-family detached homes, a lot of which were built at the end of World War II. The beauty of a lot of these historic homes is that they all have a story to tell. These are mostly owner-occupied and predominantly older, more affordable homes compared to what can be found elsewhere. Some of these properties have understandably been updated and renovated since they were first built. They have endless potential.

Mature trees, cute homes, and quiet streets are what you’ll find here. This is what has brought so many residents here and why many families continue to remain in Alderwood. Raise your kids in a safe, peaceful neighbourhood.
