Read live from the listing board and refreshed through the day. North York has more listings than one page returns, so the medians describe the 100 most recently listed homes rather than the whole market. These are asking prices. What a home actually sells for is a different number, and the one that matters if you are selling.

Living here

What North York is actually like

North York is central Toronto with room to breathe: a genuine downtown along Yonge between Sheppard and Finch, subway on two lines, and residential pockets that run from postwar bungalows to new custom builds. Prices move sharply street to street here, more than in almost any other part of the city.

The Yonge corridor through Willowdale and up toward Steeles carries a large Persian community and the businesses that serve it. Team Asgarian works here in English and Farsi.
