The market in October 2026

TRREB does not report York as one unit. Its W03 district covers Caledonia-Fairbank, Corso Italia-Davenport, Keelesdale-Eglinton West, Rockcliffe-Smythe and Weston-Pellam Park, and W04 adds Mount Dennis, Weston, Beechborough-Greenbrook and Briar Hill-Belgravia along with several former North York communities such as Maple Leaf and Rustic. Taken together, the two districts recorded 83 sales in October 2026, and their combined dollar volume works out to an average of $808,080. Detached houses averaged $1,021,994 over 39 sales and semis $847,964 over 14. W03 was the tighter district, with 3.4 months of inventory and homes selling at 100% of list price; W04 had 5.5 months and sold at 98%. Benchmarks were lower than a year earlier in both: the W03 composite was $836,200, down 4.71%, and W04 was $771,900, down 6.56%.

The housing stock

York is one of the older parts of the inner suburbs, and the housing shows it. More than a third of Ward 5 homes (35.9%) were built in 1960 or before, a much larger share than in Etobicoke North, where the largest group of homes dates from 1961 to 1980. Single-detached houses make up 29.3% of homes and semis 7.4%, a higher semi share than in Etobicoke. Low-rise apartments of under five storeys are unusually common at 15.8% of homes. The other big group is apartment buildings of five or more storeys, home to 40.6% of households. Renters outnumber owners, with 48.1% of households owning, and the average rent in 2021 was $1,196 a month, well under the city average. New construction has been light: about one home in ten dates from 2001 or later.

Overview

York is the former City of York, a municipality that sat northwest of old Toronto, east of the Humber River, until amalgamation on January 1, 1998. It takes in Weston, Mount Dennis, Rockcliffe-Smythe, Silverthorn, Fairbank and Baby Point, among others. The numbers on this page come from City Council's Ward 5 York South-Weston, which covers much of the former city but not all of it; the ward held 115,675 people in 2021.

Day-to-day life

Eglinton Avenue West runs across the district, and the former York Civic Centre still stands at 2700 Eglinton Avenue West. Weston Road is the old main street of the former Town of Weston. Mount Dennis grew around the Kodak plant, which ran there from 1912 to 2006; part of the old site now holds the Line 5 maintenance yard and Mount Dennis station. The area has long been home to Portuguese, Jamaican and Latin American communities, and Portuguese and Spanish are the most common non-English mother tongues in Ward 5. Silverthorn and Fairbank are known for steep streets that climb from the Black Creek valley. York sits east of the Humber River, and Baby Point occupies the land between Jane Street and the river. Larger parks include Eglinton Flats on Emmett Avenue, Smythe Park on Black Creek Boulevard, Weston Lions Park on Lawrence Avenue West and Raymore Park, which has a dog off-leash area.

Is York a good fit for you?

  • Transit-first buyers: Mount Dennis is a hub for Line 5 Eglinton, the Kitchener GO line and UP Express, and Weston has GO and UP Express service toward Union and Pearson.
  • Buyers who want a detached house inside the City of Toronto: detached sales across TRREB districts W03 and W04 averaged $1,021,994 in October 2026.
  • Renters weighing a first purchase: 51.9% of Ward 5 households rent, and condo apartments in W03 and W04 averaged $471,887 in October 2026.
  • Buyers who like older houses: 35.9% of Ward 5 homes were built in 1960 or earlier.
