Although Malvern has had a negative reputation as a community plagued with violence, conditions in the community have been improving following Project Impact. Hundreds of officers from the Greater Toronto Area have cracked down on known associates of the "Malvern Crew" street gang in early morning raids across the city on May 12, 2004. During the raids, 71 warrants were executed resulting in the arrest of 65 people.

Malvern is served by Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses (131 Nugget, 132 Milner, 133 Neilson, 134 Progress, 39 Finch East, 116 Morningside, 85 Sheppard East, & the 102 Markham). In the 1980s, there was a plan to bring rapid transit to Malvern by extending the TTC's Scarborough Rapid Transit line, but lack of government funding prevented any extension of the line. In August 2006, Scarborough city councillors rallied for the expansion of the Scarborough RT, or it's possible light-rail replacement to the Malvern community.

History

The history of Malvern began in 1856, when the Malvern Post Office was opened in David Brown's general store, which stood at the south-east corner of Finch Avenue and Markham Road. This post office was named after a resort town in England. A year after the post office was opened, Senator David Reesor — formerly of Markham Village — began selling "Village Lots" in Malvern. Reesor trumpeted Malvern as the future "Capital of Scarborough," anticipating that the Grand Trunk Railway would extend a branch line through here. Unfortunately, when the Grand Trunk Railway began service to this area in 1871, it bypassed Malvern in favour of the neighbouring village of Agincourt. 1856 was a leap year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...

While Malvern never did become a prosperous railway centre, it flourished as a farming community for over one hundred years.

The former Malvern Schoolhouse, built in 1872, is still standing today at 5810 Finch Avenue, and is now a private school named Whitfield Christian Academy. Other important community hubs include: the Malvern Town Centre shopping mall, the local public high school - Lester B. Pearson C.I., and the local Catholic high school - Blessed Mother Teresa C.S.S.
