Although surrounded by wooded areas, local retail centres are not far away. A 5-minute car ride takes local residents to a retail area at Morningside and Lawrence. Meanwhile, Scarborough Town Centre is located 34 minutes away by transit.
Highland Commons sits at the intersection of Highway 2A. This provides motorists with a quick onramp to reach Highway 401 eastbound.
This area is also close to two GO train stations. Both Lakeshore East stations for Guildwood GO and Rouge Hill GO are located nearby. This allows locals to make quick commutes downtown.
As well, future transit plans suggest the Eglinton East LRT will make a nearby stop at UTSC. This proposed 15-kilometre Line 5 extension will provide a great deal of convenience. It will also add a great deal of value to local real estate.
