Neighbourhoods in Scarborough Where You Can Successfully Sever a Lot
Oakridge, Toronto
This area is ripe for development due to the variable sizes of lots in the neighbourhood. Specifically, take a look in the area north of Danforth Avenue between Pharmacy Avenue and Danforth Road and that is where the bulk of the development is happening.
Cliffside, Toronto
There is a little pocket within Cliffside where there has been a lot of activity, which resides within the red area shown in the accompanying picture. The area between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue, below the GO Train tracks and North of Kingston Road is an area where lot severances are possible.
Clairlea, Toronto
The area of Clairlea South of St. Clair Avenue has been seeing an ample amount of lot severance development. The area is just North of Oakridge.
Birch Cliff, Toronto
There seems to only be a few streets in this neighbourhood that are able to complete lot severances but nonetheless severed lots do exist in this area and if the right property is found you may be able to utilize the neighbourhood’s clout to realize a nice return on your investment. Note that a lot of these severed lots turn into semi-detached developments, due to the high amount of semi-detached lots that create the precedent for the neighbourhood.
