The Cricket Club neighbourhood contains a nice mix of housing including two and three bedroom bungalows, Tudor and cottage-style two-storey houses, and larger Georgian-style homes with spacious centre hall plans. All of the houses have private drives and the lot frontages are generous, varying in size from thirty to fifty feet.
The majority of Cricket Club homes were built during the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's. These houses include many decorative features such as pretty bay windows, hardwood floors, fireplaces, french doors, wood trim, and built in cabinetry.
An established family oriented community; the local residents display a pride of ownership that can be seen on the manicured lawns and pretty gardens. Thanks to an abundance of mature trees and lack of sidewalks on most streets there is a relaxed, country charm ambience.
Cricket Club homes are in great demand because of all the amenities that this location has to offer including upscale shopping districts, excellent schools, and close proximity to public transportation and to Highway 401.
