About Taylor-Massey
Where to stay in Taylor-Massey
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The creek does the orienting. Taylor-Massey keeps no hotel row of its own, so a stay means residential streets along the watercourse that gathers here and carries on into the Don River, with Scarborough and East York on either side of its course. Nowhere along the creek takes guests overnight.
Central Toronto holds the hotel stock, which makes this an address for guests with a reason to be near Taylor-Massey Creek rather than one picked for its beds.
About Taylor-Massey
What are the main landmarks in Taylor-Massey?
No monuments are recorded. What Taylor-Massey has instead is water, a tributary long enough to have carried three names, set down at different times as Silver Creek, Scarboro Creek and finally Taylor-Massey Creek. The Don River takes it in.
That junction, in East York, is the closest thing the neighbourhood keeps to a fixed landmark, and it marks the point where water that has crossed Scarborough finishes its run through Toronto.
What is the history of Taylor-Massey?
The record here is a name history. Silver Creek and Scarboro Creek both served before Taylor-Massey settled on the watercourse, and the neighbourhood inherited the third of those names from the creek rather than the other way about. No founding year is listed.
What the record does fix is the geography of the water, a tributary drawn through Scarborough and delivered to the Don River in East York, which is the frame everything else about Taylor-Massey hangs on.
