Woodlawn, as its name suggests, is a place of trees, lawns and suburban homes. Woodlawn is a tightly knit community of 30, to 50 year old homes which are well appointed and nicely sited on 50 or 100 foot frontage lots. Woodlawn is still somewhat overlooked and offers great potential in a conveniently located family oriented neighbourhood.

Home Styles: Bungalows, 1.5 and 2 story homes are most prevalent. There are also a few townhomes  and semi-detached houses.  This is still a very affordable – some might say undervalued – neighbourhood with modest, but well-kept bungalow, 1 ½ storey and two storey homes on large, level lots.

Close to everything while maintaining its own neighbourhood feeling, Woodlawn has much to offer!
