An established pocket above the 401, with large houses and a private-school presence.
Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026
Armour Heights sits west of Avenue Road above the 401, and it is one of the more established addresses in this part of North York — large detached houses on generous lots, quiet streets, and a strong presence of private schools nearby. It has a settled, affluent character and a market that behaves accordingly: low turnover, thin comparable data, and pricing driven by lot and position. The 401 forms its southern edge, which is both its main practical advantage for drivers and the factor to check most carefully on the streets closest to it.
Large detached houses, many renovated or rebuilt, on wide lots.
Established families, private-school households, and long-tenured owners.
The 61 Avenue Road North bus; Wilson and York Mills stations a short drive.
Highway noise varies sharply with distance and grade. Stand on the lot before you decide.
