What the numbers mean

• Owners valued the median home at $900K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Toronto MLS® Home Price Index (-11% since then), that is about $803K, close to the Toronto median of $803K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
• 19% of households rent, well below the 48% city-wide. Most people here own and stay a while.
• 47% of homes are single-detached houses, versus 23% city-wide.
• Tenants here paid a median of $1,510 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, close to 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.
