History & housing stock

Architectural era · Interwar Tudor and Craftsman detached (~1920–1940), plus post-war infill

Westdale was master-planned in 1919 as one of Canada's earliest garden-suburb neighborhoods, developed alongside the relocation of McMaster University from Toronto in 1930. The commercial strip along King Street West retains its 1930s Art Deco character. The neighborhood's housing stock is a nearly intact catalog of interwar Tudor Revival and Craftsman detached homes, and the McMaster catchment materially drives pricing.
