OVERVIEW

West Deane/Heathcrest Park is a quiet neighbourhood with a good mix of long-time residents and newcomers. The country feel of this neighbourhood is derived from the Mimico Creek Valley, which cuts a wide swath through the centre of this neighbourhood.

 

Developed in the 1960s, there is a mixture of architectural styles that include bungalows, two storey homes and some split level type homes.  As with any great neighbourhood, renovations are keeping this area up to date with current real estate trends.

 

This very desirable area is close to parks, excellent schools, great shopping and public transportation.  Pearson airport is approximately 15 minutes away and all the major highways are within easy access.

HISTORY
The West Deane Park neighbourhood was still farmland when it was purchased by construction magnate Percy Law in the 1930's. Law raised prize cattle and race horses on this property, which also served as a storage depot for his construction equipment.

In keeping with his love for race horses, Law built a Colonial Revival "Old Kentucky" style home over an existing brick farmhouse that had stood on his property. This impressive white house with its large Corinthian style pillars is still standing today, set back from the street at number 59 Beaverbend Road. On the property surrounding his house Law also built a coach house, a farm manager's house and stables. The farm manager's house is still standing at 18 Deanewood Crescent.

Law sold his hobby farm in the early 1960's to developer Edmund Peachey, who built the present day neighbourhood. Peachey named this subdivision West Deane Park, in honour of his wife whose maiden name was Deane.
