Byron

Location

Byron is a residential and commercial neighbourhood located in the southwest corner of London, Ontario. Once a separate village, its amalgamation with London in the 1960’s was an ode to its thriving energy. The main intersection is at Commissioners Road West and Boler Road. Byron is situated on the outskirts of the Forest City, but it is only a fifteen-minute drive away from the Downtown core. Residents who live in Byron benefit from the perks of living in a big city with all the humble vibes of a small town.

Neighborhood

Byron’s reputation amongst Londoners is excelling, and the new developments underway are a direct reflection of that. The housing in the area is varied in style and pricing. Potential buyers will see homes for sale ranging from $339k up to $1.8m. Options range from well maintained three bedroom bungalows built in the 1950’s to contemporary and fresh four bedroom new builds (as of 2017). There is something on offer for everyone in the Byron area!

What attracts people to Byron – aside from the large sense of community and small-town feel – is the access to green spaces. The beloved Springbank Park is located right in this neighbourhood. This has been a destination for Londoners since 1894. Complete with a full 30km of trails along the Thames River and wildlife inhabiting the entire area – this is a getaway from the city life without leaving the city!
