Who lives in Alderwood

Many are attracted by the proximity to Marie Curtis Park and the lake, the friendly community feel, and the generous lots.
Homes for sale in Alderwood
Housing is mainly low-rise and family-oriented: post-war bungalows and detached homes on generous lots, along with semi-detached houses and a growing number of renovated and infill builds. The consistent streetscapes and mature landscaping are a big part of the area's appeal.
What to consider before buying
Many homes date from the post-war era, so check roofs, windows, foundations and mechanical systems and budget for updates. With no local subway, plan your commute around GO Transit, the streetcar, buses and driving, and as always confirm school catchments and visit at different times of day.
