In June 1950 the Toronto Star was full of ads for bungalows and two-storey homes in Clairlea, "the east end's newest subdivision". Located on the western edge of Scarborough and bordered by Victoria Park, Warden, Eglinton and St. Clair, the neighbourhood featured a park and a school and modern shopping district were under construction. The ads for the 6-room bungalows ran as follows:
These solid brick bungalows have everything. Large, bright living with full dining room adjoining. Modern, gleaming tile kitchen with lots of cupboards. 3 good size bedrooms with clothes closets in each. 4-piece tile bathroom. Steel beam construction. Divided basement with recreation room facilities. All on wide lots with private drive.
All for just $9,950.
