East London has a history of resiliency. There’s a renewed sense of vigor and new developments sweeping the area. Young couples, artists, and families have flocked here to be a part of this area’s story – and you can feel the growth from the moment you arrive.
The Area
East London real estate all starts with the Old East Village (OEV). This is one of the most historical areas of London, with notable architecture and relics of the city’s first inhabitants. Moving eastward, there are concentrated areas of development like Summerside, Argyle, and the areas surrounding Fanshawe College (which also happens to be one of the best learning institutes in Canada).
The Homes
The streets of East London real estate are lined with old-growth trees and sturdy family homes with good foundations and likely contain the original “rumpus room” in the basement (for games and family recreation). Turn to the nearby Summerside community, which popped up in the middle of a field in 1995, and you’ll find two-storey homes with garages, townhouse-style condos, and executive residences galore.
Neighbourhood Spotlights
What are some of the best places to call home in East London real estate? Here are the ones you need to see...
Filled with historical nuances and an energy that you can really feel, the OEV is the perfect place for young couples, families, and artists. This is the place where ideas are born, and where they thrive, within South London real estate.
A traditional suburban community, Argyle has great shops, a vibrant business district, and a really great sense of community. People here are adamant in preserving what makes this area great. That charming character is what allows this area to shine.
With easy access to the 401 and the airport, as well as a conservation area in your backyard, Huron Heights is known for its family-friendly homes. As a low-key neighbourhood that’s close to the college, there’s a youthful vibrancy here that always brings an element of fun.
