Firstly, the area is incredibly packed. There are two highly populated elementary schools in the community, and the middle school and high school those two schools (and Thorncliffe, which is larger than Gateway and Grenoble by far) feed into are also in the area. In addition, the Ontario Science centre is a popular tourist attraction, meaning there are even more people here on the weekends.
Secondly, the cultures are very much diluted. The area is almost entirely populated by people from the middle east, so cultural diversity is practically nonexistent.
Thirdly, the nearest major mall is all the way in Thorncliffe. This is either a bus ride or a long walk every time people want to get their groceries.
Fourthly, besides the rec centre and the Science Centre, there's not much to do. Swimming and walking in the park loses its fun after awhile. The nearest attractions, like the grocery stores, are in Thorncliffe. In fact, the closest attractions outside the community are in the same mall as the grocery stores.
