    Buying a home in Bendale

    Founded in 1796, when the first European settlers moved into the area, this Scarborough neighbourhood began as a standalone community. When the town received its first post office, it took the name Benlomond; unfortunately, there wasn’t much due diligence done in naming the town and that name was already taken, so they settled on Bendale.

    As housing prices in Toronto remain high, Bendale continues to be a desirable neighbourhood for new families and first-time home buyers — and Bendale condos provide the best opportunity to crack the market. Carved up by a sizeable green space in Thomson Memorial Park, residents of this community enjoy plenty of outdoor recreation activates, and a slew of family-focused entertainment options.

    Most restaurants and commercial spaces are located at the intersections of Lawrence Avenue and Midland Avenue, Lawrence and McCowan, and on Progress Ave; here you’ll find fast-food chains, banks, and a variety of specialized shops. There are catholic schools and public schools in the area, plus several religious centres.

    Scarborough Town Centre sits on the northern boundary of the neighbourhood; home to an assortment of retail stores and a Cineplex for the catching the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
