Transportation

Scarborough City Centre is quite conducive to walking; many common errands can be run without the use of a vehicle, and there are also a good number of businesses close by. On the other hand, biking is difficult in this part of Toronto since riding is made arduous by the often steep area, and this neighbourhood has a quite bad cycling infrastructure.

Character
There are a lot of green spaces to enjoy in Scarborough City Centre, as well as some areas with a vibrant ambience. To be more precise, there are a few parks close by for residents to relax in, such as Frank Faubert Wood Lot, which makes it very easy to reach them. Despite the abundance of public green spaces, the tree canopy coverage for many streets is fairly bad. Lastly, this part of the city is relatively quiet, thanks to the presence of few people out and about on the streets, although those who are closer to Highway 401 may experience more noise.
