Regent Park

A rebuilt neighbourhood with new community facilities and a mix of tenures.

Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026

Regent Park has been through one of the largest urban redevelopments in Canadian history — the postwar social housing project demolished in phases and rebuilt as a mixed-income neighbourhood with market condominiums alongside replacement rent-geared-to-income housing. The result is genuinely new: an aquatic centre, an arts centre, a large park, and building stock that is almost entirely from the last fifteen years. Prices have historically sat below comparable downtown neighbourhoods, which has drawn first-time buyers and investors. The redevelopment is still running in later phases, so construction remains a factor.
