About The Beaches
Situated along the lakeshore in Toronto’s far east end, the Beaches is named for its proximity to a collection of sandy beaches along Lake Ontario.
The Beaches is bordered by the lake to the south, and it contains extensive public parks and green spaces—all of which makes it a very outdoor-oriented community. Locals and visitors from across Toronto love to visit in the warmer months, when the area’s natural beauty is out in full force.
The friendly, laid-back vibes provided by the Beaches make it a very alluring place for many. With little crime and lots of fantastic public schools, it’s also a great neighbourhood for families.
Here you’ll find plenty of older detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian homes, which usually contain a generous amount of square footage. More unique to the community is the large number of original frame cottage-style beach houses, which were constructed around the early 20th century.
Who Lives Here
Naturally, the Beaches is a neighbourhood that appeals to many, which is why there’s a great diversity of residents here. Between young professionals who enjoy the appealing Queen Street East community to large families who value the quieter residential streets, you can find just about everyone in this charming east-end neighbourhood.
What's Great About It?
Without a doubt, one of the most appealing things about living in the area is how close it is to four public beaches. These include Balmy Beach, Scarboro Beach, Kew Beach, and Woodbine Beach—all of which are connected to form one large continuous beachfront featuring a 3-kilometre long boardwalk.
There’s also a fabulous strip of independent stores, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes along Queen Street East. These conveniences give the quaint little beach-side community a distinctly small-town feel in the big city.
The expansive park system within the Beaches is also very appealing. Green spaces like Woodbine Park, Ashbridges Bay, Woodbine Beach Park, Beaches Park, Balmy Beach Park, and Glen Stewart Park all have their own unique features and feel.
Schools
Some of the area’s most popular elementary schools include:
- Williamson Road Junior School
- Kew Beach Montessori School
- Kew Beach Junior Public School
- Avalon Children’s Montessori School
For older kids, Glen Ames Senior Public School, Neil McNeil Catholic Secondary School, and Malvern Collegiate Institute are all popular choices.

Completely restored and reimagined, Longwood House is a landmark estate in a coveted, private pocket of The Beach. Once the summer retreat of a 19th-century lumber baron, this iconic residence now stands as a masterful blend of historic grandeur and art-deco sophistication. Commanding nearly half an acre across two lots, 8 Crown Park Road sits privately perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by the lush beauty of Ivan Forrest Gardens and overlooking Glen Manor Drive and the Glen Stewart Ravine. Inside, the scale is breathtaking with three full levels, seven walkouts, and over 8,000 sq. ft. of living space (Main: 2,871 sq. ft. | 2nd: 2,425 sq. ft. | Lower: 3,074 sq. ft.). Every inch has been meticulously rebuilt with timeless craftsmanship and curated materials sourced from around the world: imported tile from Spain and South America, alabaster lighting in the living room, pantry, and bar, and three custom gas fireplaces wrapped in bespoke marble. The grounds are a private oasis. Over $1M in landscaping includes restored original brick (including rare clinker brick), solid wood soffits, a hydronic heated driveway, walkway, entry, and garage floor, a full-property irrigation system, Ebel stone retaining walls with granite caps, and an expansive rear terrace finished in black granite. Elegant, versatile spaces throughout offer both light and warmth from the stately foyer, sunlit dining room, and Scavolini millwork home office, to the gym, games' room, two wet bars, wine cellar, and in-law suite potential. With wall-to-wall windows framing lush ravine and garden views from every angle, Longwood House truly is The Crown of the Beach, your own private park in the heart of the city.
