Broadview North, East York
Broadview North is a modest residential neighbourhood in East York, running north from Danforth Avenue along Broadview Avenue toward O'Connor Drive. Bungalows and semis dominate the streetscape, interspersed with some low-rise apartment buildings. It sits in the quiet shadow of more prominent East York neighbourhoods — less polished than Leaside, less dense than Thorncliffe — but genuinely livable and underpriced relative to its proximity to the Danforth.
Transit
No subway stations fall within the neighbourhood boundary, but 35 bus stops connect residents to the Broadview subway station to the south (on the Bloor-Danforth line) within minutes. Commute times to downtown run 20–30 minutes via Broadview station.
Parks
8 parks provide green space, including Dieppe Park and smaller neighbourhood greens. The ravine system along the Don River tributaries is accessible nearby.
Dining and Groceries
6 dining options within the neighbourhood itself are limited — residents lean on the Danforth's extensive restaurant strip to the south. 4 grocery stores cover essentials.
Schools
2 local schools and one university-affiliated institution serve the neighbourhood. The limited school count reflects the neighbourhood's relatively small residential footprint.
Rental Market
22 listings show an average of $2,084 and a median of $1,972 — one of the more affordable in East York. The range of $695 to $4,500 captures basement suites and rooms through to full-house rentals. These prices are notably low for an area within easy reach of Broadview subway station.
Who It Suits
Broadview North is a strong value proposition for budget-conscious commuters who want quick downtown access via Broadview station without the Leslieville or Riverdale price premium. It also suits renters who want a quieter East York residential feel while keeping the Danforth's restaurants and cafés within a short walk or bus ride.
