Humewood, Toronto Rentals

Humewood is a very good part of Toronto for environmentally friendly transportation options. A majority of the houses for sale in this part of the city are located in areas that are particularly convenient for those who travel by walking; carrying out daily needs is very convenient without a vehicle, and a variety of businesses are moderately close by. Physically active home buyers will also welcome the rather cycling-friendly character of Humewood. For example, bike-share stations are hardly ever more than a short distance away. Humewood benefits from a very good transit network. More specifically, rapid transit stations, including St Clair West Station - Southbound Platform, Eglinton West Station - Southbound Platform and St Clair West Station - Northbound Platform with access to the Line 1 (Yonge-University), are not especially far-removed from the majority of properties in the neighbourhood. Property owners benefit from approximately 10 bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. On the other hand, cars are a sometimes poor means of transportation in this neighbourhood as it is difficult to find a place to park, and the majority of real estate listings are an extended drive from the nearest highway.

It is very convenient to reach both a general and a specialty grocery store by foot from most properties for sale in Humewood. In addition, owing to over 50 restaurants and a few cafes, Humewood is a very good place in which to go out to eat. Property owners have access to a large number of clothing stores within walking distance. With respect to education, parents and their kids will welcome that wherever their home is located in this area, daycares and schools are nearby.

Humewood is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this area. This neighbourhood has numerous places to check out. Despite the fact that there is a poor selection of entertainment venues, the streets are almost always busy with people, and with the nightlife venues in nearby neighbourhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located around the corner. Oakwood Avenue in particular offers a wide variety of places to go out at night. Humewood is very quiet, as the streets tend to be very tranquil. This area also features a fair amount of greenery as numerous tree-lined streets are around. There are approximately 40 green spaces close by for residents to enjoy, such as Cedarvale Park, and they are especially well-situated, which results in them being very easy to access from most locations within Humewood.

Single detached homes are the predominant housing type, representing about 30% of buildings in Humewood, and the rest of the properties are mainly large apartment buildings, small apartment buildings, and townhouses. This neighbourhood also has a good variety of unit sizes; it is quite easy to find homes ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms. There are equal parts renters and owners living in this part of the city. This neighbourhood experienced its main construction boom prior to the 1960s, so most of the available homes are from this time period.
