What the numbers mean
- Owners valued the median home at $800K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Toronto MLS® Home Price Index (-11% since then), that is about $714K, 11% below the Toronto median of $803K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
- 48% of households rent, close to the 48% city-wide.
- Housing is a mix: 46% apartments, with the rest townhouses, duplexes and houses.
- Tenants here paid a median of $1,200 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, 17% below the $1,450 median across Toronto's 158 neighbourhoods. That figure covers all tenants, including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.
