About Alderwood  Real Estate

The Alderwood real estate market consists primarily of detached and semi-detached single-family homes, with an average house price of around $973,000. Since most of the houses in Alderwood were built around the final years of WWII, you can find plenty of properties from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. However, the area is experiencing constant redevelopment works, which means would-be homebuyers can easily find myriad dwelling styles to their liking, from modern two-storey houses to post-war spacious red-brick bungalows.

Duplexes, multi-family homes, and newly constructed townhomes and condos are also part of the neighbourhood’s diverse housing stock. For new-build property seekers, several new condo developments can be found on Evans Ave. in the north and Lake Shore Blvd. on the southern side of Alderwood.

Alderwood Schools

Alderwood is a highly family-oriented neighbourhood with plenty of primary schools and daycares within walking distance from many of its homes for sale; high schools are less abundant and primarily accessible by car. The Toronto District School Board serves the community with plenty of non-denominational and catholic schools, both public and private, to choose from. Most of them are primary level. Here are some of the best ones:

  • Sir Adam Beck Junior School: This primary dual-track school offers English programs and early French immersion for students from Kindergarten through fifth grade. They are in partnership with the Alderwood Centre.
  • St. Ambrose Catholic School: Part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, St. Ambrose offers K-8 instruction with a flexible curriculum to include all children according to their development level, learning style and interests. Co-curricular activities include various athletics and clubs such as Chess, School Band, and a Choir.
  • Lanor Junior Middle School: Built-in 1952, this public middle school has seen many Alderwood generations throughout the years. This school is a STEAM centre for children from Kindergarten to eighth grade.
  • New Haven Learning Centre: One of the few centres in Canada offering ABA-based programs in an actual school setting for children and adults with autism. This non-profit organization provides full-day, year-round treatment and instruction for students from 2 to 21 years old living with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
  • Lakeshore Collegiate Institute: Lakeshore is one of the best local high schools offering 9th to 12th graders a demanding curriculum and several technology programs with courses such as culinary arts, cosmetology, transportation, and construction. Athletics include junior and senior-level teams that compete in football, basketball, soccer, and hockey.
