Clairlea homes consist of detached and semi-detached homes, bungalows, townhouses and condominiums. Bungalows are the most common type of home in Clairlea. The neighbourhood of Clairlea gets its name from Clairlea Public School which opened in 1951.

Claire is lined with mature trees giving this neighbourhood more of a suburb feel which families’ desire. The shopping district in Clairlea is along Warden Avenue, Victoria Park and big box retail & shopping on Eglinton Avenue. This area offers clothing shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and almost all other amenities. The new Warden Woods Ravine subdivision situated south off St. Clair Avenue, offers a collection of new townhouses, semi-detached and detached, family-style houses as well as commercial buildings, playgrounds, parks and a 25,000 square foot Warden Hilltop Community Centre.
