In 1842, John Perkins Bull was gifted 200 acres of land, which he soon cleared and built upon, finishing construction in 1844. From 1952 to 1996, Downsview Park was a military base functioning as a self-contained city. In 2011, redevelopment of the complex included primarily non-military residences, converting the former site of a Canadian Air Force Base into Downsview Airport and Downsview Park.<\/p>&#xd;&#xa;<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;40px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                    [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wahi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/donsview-homes2.jpeg&#8221; alt=&#8221;townhomes in Downsview neighbourhood&#8221; title_text=&#8221;donsview-homes2&#8243; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;wahi_neighbourhood_image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; max_height=&#8221;420px&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|32px|32px|32px|32px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                    [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;84%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|80px|0px|80px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|32px||32px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|32px||32px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]            <h3 class=\"heading3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Architecture<\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;24px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]            [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                <div class=\"textBody4\"><p>There\u2019s an even spread of property types in Downsview, including single and two-storey detached homes, low-rise apartment buildings, and townhouses. Many of the buildings in this area are older, dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, with many more built pre-1960. There are a few heritage buildings that are connected to the Canadian National Railway\u2019s history. These structures include a foundry built in 1950, a warehouse built in 1935, an office building from 1930, and a machine shop from 1917.

Downsview Park gives the area a stunning venue for festivals, races, and outdoor recreation.&nbsp; Similarly, the parks that sprawl along rivers and ravines give the area an undeniable beauty. The North York Sheridan Mall and Downsview Shopping Centre are more than enough for all your shopping needs, and there are grocery stores evenly distributed across the neighbourhood. There is no shortage of housing options, and public transit to downtown from Downsview is just one subway ride away.<\/p>&#xd;&#xa;<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;40px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wahi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/donsview-homes.jpeg&#8221; alt=&#8221;park and apartments in Downsview neighbourhood&#8221; title_text=&#8221;donsview-homes&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;wahi_neighbourhood_image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; max_height=&#8221;420px&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|32px|32px|32px|32px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_id=&#8221;faqs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;84%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|80px|64px|80px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|32px||32px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|32px||32px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                    <h3 class=\"heading3\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;24px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is Downsview, Toronto, known for?&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#BC4E40&#8243; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x43;||divi||400&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#BC4E40&#8243; open_toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x42;||divi||400&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#686E6E&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;24px||24px||true|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#EAEAEA&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                        <p><h3>Downsview is known today for its history as a military base and testing ground for state-of-the-art aviation technology.<\/h3>&#xd;&#xa;<p>&nbsp;<\/p>&#xd;&#xa;<\/p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Why is it called Downsview?&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#BC4E40&#8243; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x43;||divi||400&#8243; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;#BC4E40&#8243; open_toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x42;||divi||400&#8243; open_use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; open_icon_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#686E6E&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;24px||24px||true|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#EAEAEA&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]                        <p><h3>The name comes from a farm called Downs View that was owned by John Perkins Bull.
