Cliffside
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cliffside is a community in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located along the Scarborough Bluffs. Its boundaries are Kennedy Road to the west (where Kingston and Danforth Rd. merge), St. Clair Avenue East to the north, Brimley Road to the east, and the Bluffs on the lakeshore to the south. Cliffside is home to a number of retail plazas and strip malls on the south side. The north side is dominated by smaller store fronts with apartments above them, and automotive businesses. The population is comprised of a large number of those with ancestral backgrounds from the British Isles: English 19.8% Scottish 14.4% Irish 11.8%, totalling 46% (source: 2001 Census). [1]
Along Kingston Road, on the commercial strip, many colourful murals are painted on the walls of businesses.
Until 1950, the area was the location of the Cliffside Golf Course. Most of the homes in the area were built on the former fairways in the early 1950s.
