Although the area in the northern tip is very modest, the road boasts a sense of privilege. Perhaps residents are entitled to that since the community is graced with green spaces and curved roads. A spectacular ravine system creates the ideal path for those considering real estate in Bayview Woods-Steels to walk, jog, run or cycle along.
Closely gathered ranches are plenteous; though, west of the ravine, where the Don River begins, more magnificent homes lie into the landscape. Beside the natural splendor that crosses this area, the schools are excellent. Some of the educational institutions are Zion Heights Junior High School, Pineway and Steelesview public schools. Other public high schools that serve the area include Earl Haig Secondary School and A. Y. Jackson Secondary School.
Bayview Woods-Steeles real estate takes into consideration that several branches of the Don River connect in the middle of this neighbourhood and there is no lack of green space though as a result much is unusable because it is made up mostly of ravines. This neighbourhood is also known for diverging greatly in elevation. One example of this would be the segment in Cummer Avenue between Leslie and Bayview being particularly steep.
