Listed at $2,995/mo, this rental is tracking about 9% above a wider set of rentals, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.

- Bedrooms +$150/mo
- Adjusts to $2,850/mo
That comparable adjusts to $2,850/mo; the $2,757/mo estimate above is the median of all 5 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Orde Street Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. St Patrick is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
