Homes for Sale in L'Amoreaux, Toronto, ON

Named for the French loyalist Josue L'Amoreaux, who settled in the area after arriving in New York City in 1816 — L'Amoreaux received its first post office in 1854, and remained as an independent farming community until 1950s when it became a Scarborough subdivision.

In modern day, L'Amoreaux is a family neighbourhood with a diverse population in terms of age, heritage, and income bracket.
