Toronto Neighbourhoods With the Most Houses (2026)

When a household needs more space, the search in Toronto usually comes down to the type of house, the price of that type and the school boundary. The neighbourhoods below recorded the most detached, semi-detached and freehold townhouse sales among our guides from April to June 2026.

School boundaries are set by the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Catholic District School Board and can change. Confirm the boundary for the exact address with the board before you make an offer rather than relying on a neighbourhood name.
