Is Longmoor perfect for you?
People with Irish heritage will feel right at home in Longmoor, with street names like Sparling, Kerry, Limmerick, Delaney and Wicklow… and everyone else will just love what a delightful and family friendly neighbourhood this is.
An off road, multi-use path runs from one side of Longmoor to the other, making this area distinctly appealing to cyclists.
Compared to its neighbour south of New Street (Shoreacres), Longmoor is a modest area. Homes are generally smaller, lots are a little narrower, and are trees a bit shorter. That said, anyone would be lucky to live here. Detached homes are predominant in the area and come in the following styles: raised ranches, backsplits, sidesplits and bungalows. The lots the homes sit on are private, treed and would accommodate a pool.
This area is perfect for any family with dreams of safe evening bike rides. In Longmoor there are plenty of meandering quiet roads to explore without fear of being mowed down by traffic. The bike path that starts in Pinedale also runs through Longmoor and gives parents an added sense of security, especially when little ones are just learning to ride.
Longmoor is also a great choice for people who work in Toronto, with quick and easy access to the highway and the Appleby Go Station.
