Yonge & Eglinton Homes and Real Estate

Yonge-Eglinton, Yonge and Eg, “Yonge and Eligible” — by any name, this vibrant mid-town Toronto neighbourhood is a magnet for businesses and young professional families and singles alike.

Once part of the old Town of North Toronto, Yonge and Eglinton’s emergence as a business and retail hub began with the 1954 opening of the north-south subway line. Today, with a mall, two cinemas, soaring office and residential towers and a rich, diverse choice of shops, bars and restaurants, the area is a far cry from its beginnings as Upper Canada’s largest cattle grazing area in the early 1800s.

The thriving core makes the quiet side streets of the area highly desirable addresses — a true mixed-use neighbourhood of detached homes, townhouses and high-rise apartment and condo buildings.

Yonge and Eglinton homes offer a broad variety of types and styles. West of Yonge, in the North Toronto area, the tree-lined streets feature an eclectic mix of sizes and architecture, from Victorian to Modernist. To the north of Eglinton, the occasional three-bedroom, semi-detached fixer-upper can be had for around $500,000... while in Chaplin Estates, on the rare occasions when a stately Tudor or Georgian home becomes available, prices can reach $1.5 million. Condos in the area start in the mid $200,000s.

For many young professionals with families, the proximity of numerous public and private schools is a strong selling point for Yonge and Eglinton homes — including North Toronto Collegiate Institute, Northern Secondary, Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, St. Monica's Catholic Elementary and Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary.

The future is bright for Yonge & Eglinton homes and real estate. With city plans in place for major new development, it seems safe to predict continuing increase in local property values.
