Liberty Village

Almost everyone lives in a high-rise apartment, just over half of households rent, and more than half of residents are in their 20s and early 30s.

What the numbers mean

• Owners valued the median home at $695K in the 2021 census, 23% below the Toronto median of $900K. Prices have moved since, so treat it as a relative guide.
• 53% of households rent, above the 48% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
• Only 6% of residents are under 15, versus 14% city-wide.
• 53% of residents are 20 to 34, versus 24% city-wide. It skews young-professional.
• 99% of homes are apartments (61% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
• Tenants here paid a median of $2,020 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, 39% above 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.

Upfront closing costs²

Toronto buyers pay land transfer tax twice, once to Ontario and once to the City, so the bill is about double Ontario's alone. Government fees at the median home price: This uses the 2021 census home-value estimate, and today's prices are higher, so the real bill will be larger.

How it's changing

Toronto doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.
