Renting in Lawrence Park
A one bedroom runs about $2,400 a month, and a two bedroom about $2,710.
Almost none. This is an owner-occupied detached neighbourhood with no purpose-built rental and few condos, so renters wanting the catchment usually look at the Yonge corridor apartment blocks south toward Eglinton.
Where Lawrence Park is
Lawrence Park: frequently asked questions
Is Lawrence Park a wealthy neighbourhood?
It was ranked Canada's wealthiest neighbourhood by average household income for years and remains near the top. TRREB's 2026 Q1 Lawrence Park South median detached sale was about $3.01 million, with the median condo at roughly $828,000.
Is Lawrence Park a good area in Toronto?
For an established family with a car and a private-school or strong-public-school plan, yes: ravines, large lots, Lawrence Park Collegiate, and Lawrence station on Line 1. It has the lowest walkability of any neighbourhood on this list, around 62, and that is not a rounding error — you drive for almost everything.
What is Lawrence Park known for?
Being one of Toronto's first planned garden suburbs, laid out in 1907 with curving streets that follow the ravine contours rather than the grid. That layout is why it feels nothing like the rest of midtown and why through traffic never developed.
Is Lawrence Park the same as Lawrence Heights?
No, and the confusion is common enough that Google conflates them. Lawrence Park is the affluent area east of Yonge around Lawrence station. Lawrence Heights is a different neighbourhood several kilometres west near Lawrence West station, with a very different history and housing stock.
Is Lawrence Park safe?
It reports the lowest crime rates in the city alongside Leaside and Forest Hill. As with all of them, that partly reflects that very little happens in a low-density residential area at all, rather than a meaningful safety advantage over other good Toronto neighbourhoods.
