HISTORY
Don Mils, which Banbury is part of, was established by E.P.Taylor, one of Canada’s most powerful Businessmen. He acquired over 2,000 acres of Farmland in Don Mills amidst a housing shortage after WWII. His mission was to transform this farmland and develop Don Mills as Canada’s First Planned Community with 28,000 Residences, Industries, a Suburban Shopping Plaza, Schools and Recreation Facilities.
This was North America's first Land Development of its kind. With the natural landscape of the Don River, Rolling Hills and Ravines, Don Mills was the perfect fit for this kind of Planned Modernist Community where Neighbourhoods are isolated from Heavy Traffic by winding roads and cul-de-sacs.
LOCATION
Banbury runs along Lawrence Avenue to the South, West of Leslie Street, South of York Mills and is bordered by Wilket Creek.
It has been sought-after due to its oversized and large lots, which lend well to Mini Mansions and Luxury Homes. Many Estate Homes are secluded in the smaller streets and backing into Windfields Park.
Banbury's close proximity with the hwy 401, DVP and downtown Toronto, make it a very desireable place to live. The schools are excellent and Banbury offers and Fabulous Community Rec Centre.
