Guildwood, also known as Guildwood Village, is a residential neighbourhood located along the Scarborough Bluffs. Development started in 1957 with the famous "Avenue of Homes" display of upscale homes. The community introduced a number of new ideas in subdivision design, including winding roads and cul-de-sacs to reduce through traffic, and underground power and phone lines. The foremost landmark in this community is the historic Guild Inn.
