Armour Heights

An established pocket above the 401, with large houses and a private-school presence.

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.

Housing stock

Large detached houses, many renovated or rebuilt, on wide lots.

Who buys here

Established families, private-school households, and long-tenured owners.

Transit

The 61 Avenue Road North bus; Wilson and York Mills stations a short drive.

Worth checking

Highway noise varies sharply with distance and grade. Stand on the lot before you decide.
