The Real Estate Facts:

Since the late 1800’s, The Annex has been recognized as one of the elite neighbourhoods of Toronto and has attracted all walks of life. Originally lined with Mansions and bigger Victorian style homes, many were converted to multi-unit homes as well as mid and low-rise residential buildings in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Recently, most of these homes have been converted back to the original single family homes they once were. On average a 3 bedroom detached home is $1,500,000 and 15 years ago it was one third of the price at $550,000! With public transit, schools, parks, restaurants and bars only becoming more easily accessible, it’s hard to believe that the price of these homes will decrease any time soon.
