Clairlea is a safe, quiet, middle to upper-middle income neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that features well treed streets and detached homes with large backyards. The neighbourhood is located in east Toronto just east of Victoria Park Avenue.
To the north, it is bounded by Eglinton Avenue and to the south by Taylor-Massey Creek. The neighborhood is well-served by transit including the TTC Warden Subway Station, Victoria Park Subway Station, the soon-to-be completed Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and the Don Valley Parkway. A large portion of Clairlea-Birchmount is taken up by parks and recreation trails, the Eglinton Square Shopping Centre and other large retail developments along Eglinton Avenue East.
The residents of Clairlea enjoy the close proximity to Lake Ontario as Clairlea is situated 5 kilometers north of Silver Birch Beach (located in the Beaches neighbourhood).
The neighbourhood is recently undergoing several changes including new condo developments and major infrastructure improvements. For example, the re-development of Warden Subway Station, which began in November 2023, is a comprehensive urban revitalization plan that will breathe new life into the Warden and St. Clair Ave area. When complete, the station will be transformed into a “state-of-the-art transit hub” with new housing and new public spaces around Taylor Massey Creek.
