York Mills

Large houses on ravine lots, among the more established addresses in North York.

York Mills is one of the most established residential areas north of the old city — large detached houses on deep lots, many backing onto the West Don ravine system, on streets that follow the valley rather than a grid. The housing runs from substantial mid-century homes to large custom rebuilds, and lot size is the defining characteristic. It has strong schools, both public and private, which is a significant driver of demand. Turnover is low and the market is thin: relatively few houses list, and pricing depends heavily on lot, grade and ravine frontage rather than on comparable square footage.
