TRREB Community Housing Market Report, 2026 Q1, district C02, community Annex. 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. Yorkville is an informal area within or overlapping this community, so treat the figures as the closest official benchmark.

Who Yorkville suits
Downsizers and executives who want a lock-and-leave luxury condo, concierge service, and the ability to walk to everything, and who value address over square footage.
Who it is wrong for
Families, anyone needing space per dollar, and anyone who wants an everyday neighbourhood with practical shops rather than designer retail.
Pros
- Walk Score of 98 with the ROM, galleries, and Bloor's designer strip at the door
- Two subway lines meet at Bloor-Yonge, the busiest interchange in the system
- The deepest luxury condo inventory in the country, so there is always something available
Cons
- Highest price per square foot in Canada, and units are small for the money
- Everyday shopping is thin; it is a destination district more than a neighbourhood
- Quiet and somewhat empty on winter evenings once the retail closes

Renting in Yorkville
A one bedroom runs about $2,900 a month, and a two bedroom about $3,280.
Almost entirely luxury condo rentals with concierge, and priced accordingly. Units are small for the money. Purpose-built rental is rare, so most listings are individual investor-owned condos with the one-year lease and month-to-month rollover that implies.

Yorkville: frequently asked questions
Is Yorkville a good neighbourhood to live in?
For a lock-and-leave luxury condo with everything walkable, it is hard to beat: two subway lines, the country's densest fine dining, and the Mink Mile at the door. It is a weak fit for families and for anyone who wants square footage — you are paying for the address and the concierge, not the floor plan.
Why is Yorkville so expensive?
It carries the highest price per square foot in Canada because it combines scarce land, luxury retail, and buyers who are not price constrained. TRREB does not break Yorkville out separately — it reports inside C02 Annex — so the figures on this card are sub-area estimates anchored to that community's median, not a direct board number.
Is Yorkville Toronto safe?
Very. It is busy, well lit and heavily policed at street level. Retail theft is the recurring issue; residential crime is rare. The practical annoyance is crowds and traffic on Bloor rather than anything to do with safety.
What is Yorkville known for?
Designer flagship stores along the Bloor Street Mink Mile, gallery openings, the Toronto International Film Festival spillover, and a café and patio scene on Cumberland and Yorkville Avenue. It was a hippie village in the 1960s, which is why the Victorian shopfronts survive between the towers.
Do people actually live in Yorkville or is it just shopping?
Roughly 20,000 people live in the Bloor-Yorkville area, heavily skewed to downsizers and executives in condos. It is genuinely residential, but the resident population turns over faster and skews older and smaller-household than neighbouring Annex blocks.
