North York real estate: prices, communities, and neighbourhood guides

North York is the former city that Toronto absorbed in 1998, and it still has its own downtown at Yonge and Sheppard. The district spans condo towers along Yonge, bungalow streets in Willowdale, Don Mills and Bayview Village, the Bridle Path estates, and the Downsview and York University area in the northwest.

TRREB Community Housing Market Report, 2026 Q1, all home types, TRREB districts C06, C07, C12, C13, C14, C15, W05. We group those districts into North York ourselves, so the boundary is an approximation, not an official one. The district average is total dollar volume divided by total sales, not an average of the community averages. TRREB suppresses any community with two or fewer sales, so a few small communities are missing rather than zero. Averages mix property types: a community that is mostly condos averages far below one that is mostly houses.

What North York is like
