Why buyers choose Bond Lake
- Protected nature: the lake and surrounding forest are part of the TRCA’s Oak Ridges Corridor Conservation Reserve and a provincially significant natural area, so the view will not be built over.
- Quiet streets: residential streets around Old Colony Road and Trish Drive, away from the Yonge Street traffic but minutes from it.
- Family amenities: Bond Lake PS and Bond Lake Arena are both on Old Colony Road; the Oak Ridges Community Centre and Lake Wilcox Park are a short drive east.
- Commute: Viva Blue on Yonge Street, Gormley and Bloomington GO stations, and Highway 404 via Bloomington Road.
