A newer north-end community known for larger homes and quiet streets, close to Masonville's shopping and a short drive from Western University and University Hospital.
Sunningdale sits north of Masonville around Sunningdale Road, on what was once the city's northern edge. Over recent decades it has developed into a residential area of newer, often larger homes, with ongoing development in some pockets.
It appeals to buyers who want the convenience of the north end, with Masonville Place, restaurants and services nearby, in a newer, quieter setting. Some residents work at Western University or University Hospital, both a short drive south.
Housing is predominantly newer detached homes, many with two storeys, attached garages and generous interiors, along with some townhouse developments. As in other growth areas, some newer streets are still being completed, so ask about future construction nearby and what is planned on any vacant land.
Sunningdale is served by the public and Catholic school boards. Growing areas sometimes have students designated to schools a little farther away until local schools open, so confirm designations for the exact address with each board's school locator.
Green space, walking paths and nearby recreation facilities in the north end support family life, and the area's newer streets tend to have less through-traffic.
Richmond Street, Adelaide Street and Sunningdale Road connect the area to Masonville, Western and downtown. Most residents drive. The 401 is a longer trip from the north end, so commuters to the GTA should factor in extra time.
Sunningdale suits buyers looking for a newer, larger home close to the north end's amenities, healthcare and the university. Buyers who want an established tree canopy, older character homes or a walkable main street may prefer areas like Old North or Wortley Village.
Prices vary by street, home type, size and condition, and they change with the market. Rather than quote averages that go out of date, we recommend asking a local agent for recent sales of homes like the one you want in Sunningdale. For the wider market, the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS (LSTAR) publishes monthly reports.
