Guildwood is a leafy, planned community in southeast Scarborough, set close to Lake Ontario and built around the parkland of Guild Park and Gardens.

If you are searching for homes for sale in Guildwood, you will find an established, family-friendly part of Scarborough with more space than the central city and a real sense of community.
Location and transit
Guildwood is anchored by the Guildwood GO station on the Lakeshore East line, giving residents a direct rail link to Union Station, one of the area's biggest draws. TTC buses run along Kingston Road, Guildwood Parkway and Morningside to connect with the wider network and nearby campuses, and Highway 401 to the north provides a fast route across the GTA by car.
Who lives in Guildwood
The neighbourhood appeals to families, professionals and downsizers who want green space, a quiet community feel and an easy commute by GO train. Many residents value the proximity to Guild Park, the Bluffs and the lake, the established schools, and the rare combination of suburban calm with a direct rail connection downtown.
Homes for sale in Guildwood
Housing is predominantly detached, with many homes dating from the 1950s and 1960s on mature, well-treed lots, along with renovated properties and some newer custom builds. The planned layout means generous setbacks and greenery throughout, and homes closer to the lake and Guild Park tend to command a premium.
What to consider before buying
Many homes are original to the community's build-out, so check the condition of roofs, windows, foundations and mechanical systems and budget for updates where needed. The Guildwood GO link is excellent for downtown commuters but local trips still rely on buses or a car, so plan your routine, and confirm school catchments before you buy.
