Bayview Village is bordered by Don River on the east, and Sheppard Avenue East in the South. It is part of the federal Don Valley North riding and the provincial Willowdale electoral district. The design and layout of Bayview Village is very much influenced by the East Don Valley Parklands. Homes were built between 1954 and 1964, with a mixed style of bungalows, split-level houses, and Georgian Revival-style homes, now renovated and infilled with newer models. There are also multiple high-rise developments built, and continuing to be built along Sheppard Avenue.
