Wexford Heights is a mid-Scarborough neighbourhood situated around Warden Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East, generally bounded by the 401 to the north, Lawrence to the south, Victoria Park to the west, and Pharmacy Avenue to the east. It is a family-oriented community with a diverse population and strong cultural mix, including significant South Asian and Caribbean communities.
The neighbourhood features primarily post-war bungalows and modest detached homes on tree-lined streets, with some infill townhome development over the past decade. Wexford Park and the Taylor Massey Creek trail system provide green space and recreational access.
Wexford Heights is an accessible Scarborough market. Bungalows and smaller detached homes typically range from $700K to $1.0M, with renovated or larger properties reaching $1.0M to $1.3M. The neighbourhood offers relatively strong value for buyers seeking detached home ownership within Toronto city limits.
Wexford Heights is within City of Toronto — both Ontario and Toronto Municipal LTT apply. On an $850K home, combined LTT is approximately $18,475. First-time buyers receive up to $8,475 in combined rebates, making this one of the more affordable total-cost scenarios for first-time Toronto buyers.
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT will include a Warden station (at Eglinton and Warden) when fully operational. This transit investment is expected to significantly enhance property values in the surrounding area, including Wexford Heights. Buyers entering now may benefit from pre-LRT pricing before the transit premium is fully realized.
Wexford Heights Public Library, Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts (a specialized arts secondary school), and Wexford Park Community Centre anchor the neighbourhood's civic life. The Scarborough Town Centre mall is a short drive east, providing major retail access.
