Encyclopedia > Bayview Village

Bayview Village is an upper-middle class neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although, like any neighbourhood, its boundaries are subject to dispute, no one would argue that it includes the area bounded by Sheppard Avenue, Bayview Avenue, and the East Don River. The leafy neighbourhood consists mostly of well-heeled suburban houses, predominantly in the ranch bungalow style, built in the late 1950s and 1960s. Several of the street names recall that the area was a racehorse training stable and grounds before being developed.
