Living In Bayview Village
The Gerber Group specializes in Bayview Village for a number of great reasons. John and his team have been helping clients who live or want to live in Bayview Village since 1967. John, a homeowner in Bayview Village himself is particularly fond of the community, unique homes, the history and the incredible forested properties.
A quarter of all the property in Bayview Village is green. Throughout Bayview Village there are numerous parkettes, including the child focused fun spots, Blue Ridge Park and Bayview Village Park. One of the strongest features of Bayview Village is that it is located on the western edge of the beautiful and magnificent East Don Parkland with trails and walkways to take you into a tranquil "Muskoka" beauty without leaving the city.
This great community has grown substantially since its early conception in the 1930s and remains situated among incredible wilderness. Some of the healthy deer population occasionally visits some of the gardens backing onto the wild ravines. The Village's shopping, recreation and businesses are very successful and continually attract people to the area.
The well known Bayview Village Shopping Centre was built on forty acres of land in 1963 and was completely renovated /enlarged in 2005 to include the best retail stores available.
Among the many, many fascinating historical facts on this great area, you will be interested to know how the street names were derived. Since Bayview Village was laid out on the lands used by the Eglinton Hunt Club member and developer, A.W. Farlinger, many of the streets were names for riding activities and famous racehorses, such as Hi Mount Drive, Tally Lane, and Palomino Court. Some streets bear the names of racehorses, many of which had taken place in King's or Queen's Plate races - Citation Drive, Bunty Lane, Flaremore Crescent, Hawksbury Drive, and King Maple Place.
(Please note: For more detailed history on Bayview Village, the Bayview Village Association has produced a book titled, "Bayview Village: From Farmland to One of Canada's Most Picturesque Communities". This book can be ordered from Jane Robertson, 1 Clarinda Dr, 416-226-1390)

The Bayview Village Experience
Bayview Village Shopping Centre
Home to over 110 one-of-a-kind and luxury merchants, Bayview Village is one of Canada's most prestigious shopping centres. "Geographically blessed" (with close proximity to many of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area), the Centre caters to discerning foodies/fashionistas/decoristas seeking unique merchandise in an inviting, upscale environment. Not your ordinary shopping venue, Bayview Village is carefully curated in order to offer a true 360º glam lifestyle experience. Where else can you valet park your car, drop off your dry cleaning, get fitted for a dress for next month's fundraising gala, have lunch (over a glass or two of chardonnay), get a blow-out, luxuriate in a mani-pedi, pick up duck breast for tonight's dinner and . . . grab a bottle of Veuve for Friday night's dinner party . . . all in one stop?
In short, Bayview Village Shopping Centre is a convenient (and haute) one stop, which allows its well-heeled customers to regularly check things off their "to do" lists in the glam-est way possible.

Helpful Hints & Tips: Renovations For Seniors At Home
Renovations are among the most effective ways to assist older homeowners who want to live as they choose in their own homes for as long as possible. The accelerating trend known as "aging in place" is being ably supported by improvements specifically designed for seniors, including tub and shower assist bars, seat-height toilets with rails, scald-resistant faucets and hands-free lighting fixtures. In addition, some more significant (and more costly), renovations can contribute even further towards enabling seniors who look to extend their at-home independence and productivity.
For example, stair-lifts and personal elevators can enhance mobility and improve safety for seniors currently living in multi-level homes. Also, ramps to extra-wide doorways, level thresholds between rooms, lower countertops and adjustable-height cupboards can accommodate those in wheelchairs and scooters. For those who relish independent living that includes housekeeping, a central-vac system might provide added autonomy, while a wireless medical alarm system might ease the worries of adult children whose senior parents are determined to live on their own.
