Living in Yonge and Eglinton, Toronto

The short answer

Yonge and Eglinton is built around Eglinton station, where Line 1 Yonge University meets Line 5 Eglinton. TRREB splits the area into two communities: Yonge-Eglinton and Mount Pleasant West.

From April to June 2026 the two recorded 166 sales. 128 of them were condo apartments. Most sales are condo apartments, with a smaller market for houses on the side streets. Union station is 11 stops south of Eglinton station on Line 1.

What homes cost

The table above lists each community by property type. The two medians look very different because of the sales mix, not because one area is simply cheaper.

Mount Pleasant West is mostly condo apartments: 114 of its 131 sales, with a median of about $603,000. That pulls its all property types median down to $630,000. It also had 3 condo townhouse sales at a median of about $718,000, 9 detached sales at about $2,585,000 and 5 semi-detached sales at about $2,255,000.

Yonge-Eglinton had 35 sales. 15 were detached houses with a median of about $2,200,000. Its 14 condo apartment sales had a median of about $533,000. The all property types median of $1,450,000 reflects that heavier share of houses.

For condo apartments, compare by size, floor, parking and maintenance fees rather than by the area median. Before you firm up a condo purchase, ask for the status certificate. It sets out the condo corporation’s finances and rules. Have your lawyer review it. For houses, the small number of sales each quarter means a few transactions can move the figures.

Downsizing in Yonge and Eglinton

Yonge and Eglinton has far more condo apartment sales than the nearby house neighbourhoods. From April to June 2026 there were 128 condo apartment sales across the two communities, with medians of about $603,000 in Mount Pleasant West and about $533,000 in Yonge-Eglinton.

For an owner selling a detached house in Lawrence Park or Leaside, where detached medians ran from about $2,091,000 to about $2,728,000 in the same quarter, a condo apartment here costs a fraction of that. The larger number of sales also means more units to compare in any given month.

Check maintenance fees, parking and the building’s reserve fund before you compare prices. Our downsizing guide covers the order of selling and buying.

Is Yonge and Eglinton right for you

Yonge and Eglinton fits if you want a condo apartment with a wide choice of buildings and direct access to Line 1 and Line 5. It also fits if your budget reaches the detached or semi-detached prices in the table and you want a house near Eglinton station.

It is harder if you need a freehold home under $1,500,000, since TRREB recorded only 2 freehold townhouse sales here this quarter and semi-detached medians were well above that. In that case compare the table with the nearby guides for Lawrence Park and Leaside.
