The neighbourhood of Lansing has great appeal. It is located in a quiet, tranquil corner of North York, yet its close proximity to major thoroughfares such as Yonge Street and Highway 401 make it conveniently accessible, either by car or by transit.
Lansing is full of beautiful, old mature trees and is surrounded by lots of green space, yet, it is close to all of the top-notch shopping and entertainment that is desirable with city living.
What also makes it such an attractively peaceful place to live is the lack of through-traffic: the Don River creates a natural boundary along the west side, while the streets bordering Beecroft Road have been converted into dead-ends which effectively eliminates traffic destined for Yonge Street, its eastern border. Burnett Avenue and Highway 401 are the northern and southern boundaries, respectively.
