The Real Estate Facts:

Over the last decade, the Danforth has seen a lot of change since it started as a lower-middle class suburb in the early 1900’s. Most homes in the Danforth area are now older 2-3 storey Victorian style homes or smaller bungalows that are being re-built into bigger homes. The Danforth is now labeled as middle to upper middle class and in return has affected the affordability of the homes in the area. On average a 3 bedroom detached home is $650,000 and 10 years ago it was almost half the price at $350,000! This is of course due to the convenient shopping and public transit that is available on the Danforth and in return has made it a very desirable area.
