WHAT WE DO
Welcome to the Toronto Float Homes
The float home community, located in the beautiful Scarborough Bluffs, is the only one of it’s kind in Ontario, Canada. This very rare community of 24 float homes at the end of Brimley Rd South in Scarborough. It is nestled in a protected cove on Lake Ontario, that is only 15 minutes away from downtown Toronto.
With its close proximity to Toronto, the sounds of the city are blocked by the bluffs, this natural buffer also protects the wildlife. It is common to see trumpeter swans, beavers, deer, turtles, salmon and even mink here.
Not to be mistaken with houseboats or boat houses, float homes are full-time, year-round residences that are built on floating concrete barges. They are moored to a dock and anchored via a chain structure to the lake bed. There are no motors, nor are they designed to navigate. Float homes share the same luxuries as homes on land with heat, hydro, plumbing, a/c, 9ft ceilings and insulation. In fact, all the float homes at the Scarborough Bluffs were first constructed on land and then pulled by tug boats, from Cherry Beach, to the bluffs. Some of the float home owners even got to take a ride on their new home as they were transported!
Being in this small community feels as if you are in cottage country or on the east or west coast of Canada. The neighbours are friendly, relaxed and share the love of being on the water.
