Midtown Toronto
The most established residential belt in Canada’s largest city
Midtown Toronto is not one neighbourhood. It is a band of them. Between Bloor Street and Eglinton Avenue, from the Annex and Casa Loma in the west through the Yonge Street corridor to Rosedale, Moore Park, and Leaside in the east, the city’s most established residential communities have grown up over more than a century and a half. What they share is worth more than any single street address: mature streets, top schools, walkable villages, and a track record of value that has outlasted every market cycle.
The market here rewards patience and local knowledge. Homes are held for years, sometimes decades, and the most significant properties often change hands before they are ever advertised. Condominiums along the St. Clair, Avenue Road, and Yonge corridors offer a different entry point into the same neighbourhoods, at a different price point. Value in Midtown varies street by street and school district by school district, which is why the right block matters as much as the right house.
Jonathan Schwarz has worked Midtown for more than 20 years. He ranked in the top 1% of TRREB’s 75,496 members by properties sold as of December 2023. In 2026 to date over 90% of his firm or closed transactions were repeat or referral clients. Those numbers describe a business built on trust: clients come back, and they send the people they care about.
Choosing the right neighbourhood means knowing which blocks flood in April, which buildings are well managed, which school districts hold their value, and where the next street over changes the whole character of a home. Jonathan can tell you, because he has worked every one of the neighbourhoods in this guide. And when the right property is not publicly listed, ask about current opportunities, including homes that trade quietly off the public market.

Life in Midtown
Living Well Between Bloor and Eglinton
Top public and private schools sit inside the belt, including Upper Canada College, Bishop Strachan School, Branksome Hall, St. Michael's College School, Toronto Prep School, The York School, and Greenwood College School, with strong public anchors such as Northern Secondary School, North Toronto Collegiate Institute, and Forest Hill Collegiate Institute. School catchments vary by address, so check the designated schools for each property.
The Beltline Trail threads through Forest Hill, Davisville, and Moore Park on a former railway bed. Cedarvale and Nordheimer ravines add wooded paths and quiet escapes, while Sherwood Park, Chorley Park, David A. Balfour Park, Eglinton Park, and the Mount Pleasant Cemetery arboretum spread green space across the belt.
Line 1 subway stations from Bloor to Eglinton keep Midtown minutes from downtown, and the new Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown, opened February 8, 2026, now runs east-west through the belt with stations at Chaplin, Avenue, Eglinton, Mount Pleasant, Leaside, Laird, Sunnybrook Park, and the Science Centre.
Midtown's shopping streets and villages include Yorkville's designer row, the shops and restaurants of Yonge and St. Clair, Mount Pleasant Village in Davisville, the Eglinton Way, Summerhill's food and design scene, Forest Hill Village, and the Bayview strip in Leaside.
