Allenby Neighbourhood - Past
Allenby was first settled in the 1400's by the Huron Tribe which had a village here until sometime in the early 1700's.
The present day neighbourhood was developed when Allenby Public School opened in 1927. The school was named after Lord Allenby, a British World War One hero.
Allenby's Tudor style houses were built in the 1930's and 1940's. They include a mix of detached two storey homes and bungalows. Overall, Allenby's lot sizes are above average, with 25 to 35 foot frontages being typical. All Allenby houses have either a mutual or private driveway.
Much of Allenby's housing stock has undergone extensive renovations by new owners who have been careful to preserve the original wood detail and decorative accents found in many of the houses in this neighbourhood.
Shopping
Allenby residents are well served by the shops and restaurants along Eglinton Avenue West know as 'The Eglinton Way'. In particular there are a large number of shops and professional services geared towards families with young children. There are also many fine clothing stores, food shops and restaurants in this shopping district.
The ultra modern North Toronto Memorial Community Recreation Centre, on Eglinton Avenue West, has an indoor and outdoor pool, a gymnasium, a walking track, aerobic and weight rooms, and two artificial ice rinks that are used as tennis courts in the summertime. The Centre is located next to Eglinton Park which has a baseball diamond, sports field and a wading pool.
Allenby residents are also close to the Belt Line trail, a popular seven kilometre leisure and exercise path that winds through the central part of the city. There is local access to the Belt Line, south of Eglinton off Chaplin Avenue and at Oriole Parkway.
Regular bus service on Eglinton Avenue and on Avenue Road connect passengers to the Eglinton TTC station on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line.
Motorists are ten to fifteen minutes from the Allen Expressway and approximately fifteen minutes to the Avenue Road on ramp to Highway 401. Toronto's downtown business and entertainment districts are within a twenty minute drive of this neighbourhood.
