HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BEACHES
HISTORY
The Beaches community started in 1793 and has a long and vibrant history. In the 1870’s it became the summer resort area for the residents of Toronto. In 1932 the Beaches Park opened and there has been no looking back since.
Ben Lamond
was a small community that grew up at the corner of Kingston Road and Benlamond Avenue (now Main Street). The village took its name from two prominent landowners, James Lamond-Smith and Benjamin Morton. A 1880 map shows the two families living beside each other on Benlamond Avenue, with a private park to the south. One of the first public horse-drawn tranways was built along Kingston Road and took people as far
as the Don River. View Map
NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Beaches is a well-enjoyed neighbourhood and a popular tourist destination. Known worldwide for its Boardwalk and its sandy Lake Ontario shoreline, shoreline. It is also wonderful, in every season, for great shopping, a cup of coffee with a friend, or simply a nice stroll. The area enjoys a high profile in Toronto’s real estate market and properties
here enjoy a substantial “location’ premium. The avenues are mostly lined with semi-detached and larger Victorian, Edwardian homes from around the 1900 and 1920’s. There are a good number of newer luxury homes too. There are also low-rise apartment buildings and row-houses.
