Bayview Woods-Steeles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bayview Woods-Steeles is a neighbourhood located in the northern tip of the city of Toronto, Canada. The neighbourhood is bordered by Steeles to the North, Leslie to the East, Bayview to the West and Finch to the South. Several branches of the Don River meet right in the middle of this neighbourhood and there is no shortage of greenspace as a result, though much is not usable.

The neighbourhood is a middle income neighbourhood with an equal amount of single detached homes as apartment buildings with 5+ stories. The ownership rate is close to 60% which is well over the average for the city.

There is a very large population of Chinese immigrants arriving each year and the neighbourhood boasts a large Chinese population (over 30%). There is also a strong Jewish community living in the area.
