Glen Park

Homes in Glen Park

Glen Park contains an eclectic mix of houses that come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. The oldest homes in this neighbourhood are the cosy looking white or pastel painted bungalows. These homes were built mostly in the late 1940's and contain pleasing decorative accents such as front bay windows and accent octagonal shaped windows. Note that while many of these bungalows are framed with aluminum siding there are also a fair number of houses framed with asbestos siding which was popular during this era for its fire resistant features.

The slightly larger brick bungalows that are also common in this neighbourhood were built mostly between 1955 and 1972. They include ranch-style, split-level, and raised bungalow designs.

Since the early 1990's a growing number of Glen Park's original housing stock has been replaced by new custom built homes that are well suited to the expansive lots found in this neighbourhood.
