Glenfield-Jane Heights Neighbourhood Guide

Glenfield-Jane Heights is situated within a broader neighbourhood known as Jane and Finch. Situated in the northwest end of Toronto, this neighbourhood is in the district of North York. Positioned at the intersection of Jane Street and Finch Avenue West, the community is roughly bordered by Highway 400 to the west, Driftwood Avenue to the east, Grandravine Drive to the south, and Shoreham Drive to the north.

Glenfield-Jane Heights real estate is divided by two city neighbourhoods which cover the area often known as "Jane and Finch." From Finch north to Steeles is considered part of the Black Creek community while from Finch south to Sheppard is called Glenfield-Jane Heights.

Jane-Finch was initially planned as a model suburb in the 1960s in response to the quick urban expansion of Toronto. The neighbourhood was planned to cater to a socially diverse population and included a considerable amount of public housing, yet inadequate thought was given to the social infrastructure required to sustain community life.

Homes

Homes for sale in Glenfield-Jane Heights started to be developed in the 1960s with plans spearheaded by the Ontario Housing Corporation (OHC) and coinciding with North York Planning Department’s goal of establishing a more urban-looking suburb.

This neighbourhood is recognized for its series of high-rise buildings and, alongside, it’s above average population density. Jane-Finch faced an astronomical growth period from 1961 to 1971 when the population went from 1,300 to 33,000, as a result, accounting for over 40% of the growth in North York.

This North York neighbourhood is extremely multicultural and has large populations of many ethnic groups. Some of the represented cultures include Italian, Vietnamese, East Indian, Chinese, Jamaican, Canadian, Spanish, African, Guyanese and Ecuadorian.

History

During the years between 1981 and 2001, the total populace of North York grew by 8.7%; higher income families by 9%, though poor income families by 80.5%. Poverty rose in 5 major areas but the most well-known is the Jane-Finch area. Four poor neighbourhoods developed into areas of very high poverty, and an area that previously had low to moderate poverty became known as having high levels of poverty.

By 2001, a significant change had taken place, with the immigrant family residents now making up over half of the sum family population in these areas, and Canadian born families were the minority, though the immigrants were increasingly poor.
