About Scarborough

Scarborough is Toronto's eastern district, from the Bluffs on Lake Ontario to the edge of Rouge National Urban Park. Many streets are lined with post-war bungalows and side-splits, often with basement apartments, alongside townhouses and condos near Scarborough Town Centre. TTC buses, GO stations and Highway 401 shape most commutes.

Before you rent

  • Look for a separate entrance, enough windows and ceiling height, and where the laundry is.
  • Check whether utilities are included or split as a share of the house's bills.
  • Ask whether the unit is a registered second unit with the city.
