TRREB Community Housing Market Report, 2026 Q1, district C10, community Mount Pleasant East. TRREB suppresses any property type with two or fewer sales in the quarter, so a missing row means too little activity to report, not no demand. Davisville Village is an informal area within or overlapping this community, so treat the figures as the closest official benchmark.

Who Davisville Village suits
First-time buyers and renters who want Line 1 access and midtown amenities without Leaside or Lawrence Park prices, and families who can work with a smaller lot.
Who it is wrong for
Anyone with a low tolerance for construction — the neighbourhood has been under near-continuous redevelopment — and buyers looking for architectural character.
Pros
- Cheapest condo median on the Line 1 corridor at about $633,000 in TRREB's 2026 Q1 report
- The Beltline Trail runs through it, connecting to the ravine system east and west
- An unusually wide housing mix for midtown: 1960s rental blocks, condos, semis and detached houses
Cons
- Persistent construction along Yonge, Davisville and Mount Pleasant
- Architecturally plain compared with the Victorian neighbourhoods further south
- Fast market: 16 days at 102 percent of list, so little room to think on a house purchase
Living in Davisville Village
Getting around
Davisville and Eglinton on Line 1, Eglinton Crosstown at Yonge. Walk Score 90, Transit Score 92, Bike Score 84.
Safety
Safe and quiet, with the usual midtown pattern of car break-ins and package theft. The Yonge corridor is busier at night than the residential streets east and west.
Restaurants
Mount Pleasant and Bayview carry the good independents; Yonge itself is a mix of chains and quick service. It is convenient rather than a destination.
Shopping
Everyday retail along Yonge and Mount Pleasant, with Summerhill Market at Davisville and larger shopping at Yonge and Eglinton a short walk north.

Where Davisville Village is
Davisville Village: frequently asked questions
Is Davisville a good place to live?
It is midtown's best value: Davisville station on Line 1, the Beltline Trail, June Rowlands Park, and a mix of low-rise apartments and detached houses that gives it a wider price range than most of the surrounding area. The persistent complaint is construction — the neighbourhood has been under near-continuous redevelopment for years.
How much are homes in Davisville Village?
TRREB's 2026 Q1 Mount Pleasant East figures show a median detached sale of about $2.10 million, semis at roughly $1.42 million and condo apartments at about $633,000 — one of the more affordable condo medians on the Line 1 corridor. It moved fast, at 16 days and 102 percent of list.
What is the history of Davisville Village?
Named after John Davis, who ran a pottery works here and became the first postmaster in 1858. The village grew around Yonge and Davisville; the apartment towers along Davisville and Mount Pleasant arrived in the 1960s, which is why the housing mix is so unusually broad for midtown.
Is Davisville good for renters?
Among the best in midtown. The 1960s apartment stock along Davisville, Merton and Mount Pleasant is real purpose-built rental with subway access, which is a rare combination in Toronto. Buildings are older, but rents run well below the equivalent downtown condo.
Where does Davisville Village end and Leaside begin?
Bayview Avenue is the practical dividing line. West of Bayview around Yonge and Davisville is Davisville Village; east of it is Leaside. Prices step up noticeably crossing Bayview, which is why the boundary gets argued over in listings.
