A charming Scarborough neighbourhood located along the Scarborough Bluffs between Morningside Drive and Kingston Road, Guildwood (or Guildwood Village) was developed in the 1950’s following the downsizing of the Guild Inn. The original cast-iron ‘Guildwood Gates’ still mark the entrance into this tree-filled residential community, a place where you can now find affordable Toronto condos for sale near Kingston Road.

What are the coolest things about Guildwood? Well, near the top of the list is definitely Guild Park and Gardens, one of the coolest parks that Toronto has to offer. It’s a great place for family outings, photography portraits for weddings or special events, as well as interesting walks and recreation. The old site of the Guild Inn also draws a lot of interest from locals and tourists as a nice place to meander among old architecture and natural woodland trails. The community spirit thrives in Guildwood, with a strong Community Association that organizes various events throughout the year and shares a local newspaper. The local vibe is pulled together with a common shopping plaza where residents can find a variety of shops and services from grocery stores and fresh bakeries to barbers and medical offices, plus during the summer the area hosts a farmers’ market called Markets by the Bluffs.

For travel purposes, Kingston Road is the main roadway for drivers, providing a clear pathway east and west.
