Toronto's streetcar suburbs are quite nice looking. E.g. Parkdale, Beaches, etc.
But seriously, I assume OP was looking for post-war suburbs. So no former small towns and villages like Pickering Village, Port Credit, etc. either.
The Town of Markham strikes me as a little better looking than average suburbia, due to its adherance to New Urbanism, which emphasizes aesthetics. Andres Duany himself has been involved in some of those Town of Markham projects as well. Personally, I'm into all that faux-historic shit, but putting garages and driveways behind houses makes a big difference. Streets look much nicer that way.
And there's also Mississauga, which has received a lot of attention from skyscraper/architecture enthusiasts in recent years, maybe for good reason. Expect even more attention after the LRT is built.
