About Skyline

Skyline was developed between the early 1950s and 1970s as part of the suburban expansion along Baseline Road. The neighbourhood sits at the intersection of Baseline Road and Merivale Road, two major arterials that provide excellent access to commercial amenities and employment areas.

The area is currently part of the Baseline-Merivale Secondary Plan, which is guiding development for the next 25 years. The plan designates Baseline Road as a bus rapid transit corridor, which significantly affects development policies in the area. Properties in Hub and Corridor designations may see increased density over time.

This planning context creates opportunities for homeowners considering renovation or redevelopment, as transit-oriented policies encourage housing intensification in the area.

Location & Boundaries

Skyline is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Meadowlands Drive and Parkwood Hills to the south, Clyde Avenue and Merivale Road to the west, and Fisher Heights to the east.
