The town of Bradford, though it meets all the major requirements for being a bedroom community to larger Toronto, is somewhat unique in that it is also part farming community. As such it doesn't have as much of the traditional neighborhood structure that you would find in Brooklin homes where residents define their neighborhood by the name given to it by the developer when it was being planned out. There are many farms, both working and not, in Bradford that don't fit into this suburban neighborhood structure, instead being referred to as "off such-and-such road."
There are, however, some of the more traditional suburb-style neighborhoods like Oshawa real estate present in Bradford, particularly in the more built up areas closer to the center of town. These neighborhoods either came about gradually as the result of individuals choosing site near to one another to build their new homes or sprung up instantly as the result of a single developer's unifying vision for a particular parcel of land. Those neighborhoods that came about gradually tend to be more heterogeneous in nature with regard to home styles but can be fairly loyal to a particular income bracket, lifestyle or nationality when it comes to its residents. Others, especially the pre-planned developments like you would see in Etobicoke townhouses consist of nearly the same style house and lawn landscaping repeated over and over in a way designed to be uniform and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
There are relatively few apartments and condos in small towns like Bradford but due to Bradford's large commuter population there are many more than in a similarly sized town unconnected to any major city. These apartments and condos tend to be in the most built up part of town or near to the commuter train stops.
