Welcome To Yorkville
Yorkville is where Toronto keeps its money and, occasionally, its celebrities. Once a 1960s counterculture hub, it’s now the city’s luxury address: the Mink Mile along Bloor, the designer flagships, the valet-parked patios, and some of the most expensive real estate in the country. It also still has the bones of the Victorian village it used to be, which is what saves it from feeling like an outdoor mall.
The trick to understanding Yorkville is that two things are true at once. On Bloor it’s Chanel and Hermès and Holt Renfrew. One street north, on Hazelton and Scollard, it’s quiet heritage townhouses and pocket gardens. You’re paying for both, and for the location, which is about as central as Toronto gets.

Yorkville FAQs
Yorkville is one of the priciest pockets in the city. Condos and lofts cover a wide range: smaller resale units often start in the $700Ks to $900Ks, mid-market suites land roughly $1M to $2M, and the marquee buildings (Four Seasons Private Residences, The Hazelton, 50 Yorkville) regularly trade well into the multi-millions. Heritage townhouses and the rare semi typically run several million and up, and detached houses are scarce and expensive. These are broad ranges… check the live stats block on this page for current figures, and browse current listings here.
It’s in central Toronto, just north of Bloor Street between roughly Yonge and Avenue Road, tucked against the Annex and a short walk from the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto.
If the budget fits, it’s one of the most convenient addresses in the city: walk to world-class shopping, restaurants, two subway lines, and the ROM. It leans toward professionals, downsizers, and pied-à-terre buyers more than young families. There’s green space and quiet on the residential streets, but this is a luxury condo and townhouse neighbourhood, not a backyard-and-swing-set one.
Excellent. Bay and Bloor-Yonge stations put both Line 1 and Line 2 at your doorstep, so the financial district is a quick, transfer-free-ish ride. Plenty of people simply walk to midtown or the U of T campus.
Extremely. Shopping, dining, groceries, the museum, and transit are all within a few blocks, and the streets are pedestrian-friendly. This is one of the highest-walkability pockets in Toronto.
On-street parking is limited and pricey, and you’ll be competing with shoppers and restaurant traffic. Most residents rely on building parking, which is worth confirming when you buy, since not every unit comes with a spot.
Around the Neighbourhood
Cultural landmarks: The Royal Ontario Museum sits at the southwest edge with its dinosaurs and Crystal addition, and the heritage Victorian rows along Hazelton, Scollard, and Cumberland are landmarks in their own right, many protected under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Hot local spots: Sassafraz for a long lunch in the Victorian townhouses, Alobar Yorkville and Café Boulud in the Four Seasons for the serious dinners, and the Mink Mile flagships (Chanel, Hermès, Holt Renfrew) for the window shopping, or the actual shopping, if that’s you.
Parks & green space: The Village of Yorkville Park is the local set piece, with its Scots pines, gardens, and the 650-tonne billion-year-old Canadian Shield rock you can sit on. It’s small but genuinely lovely.
Your Typical Neighbour
Yorkville sits inside the official Annex neighbourhood, which skews toward affluent professionals, downsizers, students near U of T, and a high share of apartment and condo dwellers, with incomes that run above the city median in the Yorkville core. Expect more one- and two-person households than families, and more renters and condo owners than single-family homeowners.

What We Love
Location and convenience are unbeatable: two subway lines, the ROM, the best shopping in the country, and a real restaurant scene, all walkable. The heritage streets are beautiful and quieter than you’d expect given what’s a block away. For downsizers and professionals who want lock-and-leave luxury in the centre of everything, it’s hard to beat.
What We Don't Love
It’s expensive, and not just to buy: condo fees in the luxury buildings are high, and you pay a premium for the postal code. It can feel more like a shopping-and-tourist district than a neighbourhood, especially on Bloor, and that means crowds and traffic. Parking is a hassle if you don’t have a dedicated spot. And constant nearby development means construction noise and cranes are a recurring fact of life. This is a place to live well, not cheaply.
Real Estate
Yorkville is dominated by two things: luxury condominiums and heritage low-rise. The condos range from established towers to ultra-prime addresses like the Four Seasons Private Residences and The Hazelton, where price-per-square-foot reaches the top of the Toronto market. The heritage stock is the Victorian townhouses built between roughly 1870 and 1895 along Hazelton, Yorkville, Cumberland, and Scollard, many now boutiques and offices, some still residential and tightly held. Detached family houses are rare here. If you’re weighing your first purchase, our complete first-time buyer guide is a sensible start, and you can see current listings here. For more residential, tree-lined streets next door, look at The Annex.

Transit
Among the best-connected spots in the city. Bay Station (Line 2) and Bloor-Yonge Station (Lines 1 and 2) are both right here, putting the whole subway network within easy reach. Bus and streetcar connections run along Bloor and Avenue Road, and the area is very walkable and bike-friendly. You genuinely do not need a car to live in Yorkville.
