The name Cliffcrest is in reference to the Scarborough Bluffs, which are land formations along the waters edge. The neighbourhood feels much more like being at the cottage than being in Canada's largest and most densely populated city. The Bluffs, which are sandy cliffs, look over both Lake Ontario and the swans and other wildlife that lie below.
For a cottage in the city the average value of homes is only middle of the pack, making it affordable by Toronto standards. Most homes are single detached houses with a high ownership rate. There are fewer high or low rise buildings in this area.
Cliffcrest is a family oriented community that looks and feels more like cottage country than a big city neighbourhood.
The Cliffcrest neighbourhood was named in the 1960's by city planners who were making obvious reference to the Scarborough Bluffs land formation that skirts the southern boundary of this neighbourhood.
Following the dismantling of the streetcar Kingston Road was widened to cater to the automobile age which ultimately led to the residential development of Cliffcrest in the 1940's and 50's.
