What the numbers mean

• Owners valued the median home at $740K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Toronto MLS® Home Price Index (-11% since then), that is about $660K, 18% below the Toronto median of $803K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
• 62% of households rent, well above the 48% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
• Only 4% of residents are under 15, versus 14% city-wide.
• 63% 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 $2,060 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, 42% 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.

How it's changing

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