What homes cost

The table above shows each community separately, because their prices differ. Treat the two as separate markets when you compare listings.

In Lawrence Park North the 40 detached sales had a median of about $2,091,000 and the 10 semi-detached sales a median of about $1,700,000. Only 2 condo apartments sold, too few for TRREB to report a price. Semi-detached houses are the main step below detached in the north.

In Lawrence Park South the 52 detached sales had a median of about $2,728,000 and an average of about $2,889,000. The 9 condo apartment sales had a median of about $1,100,000. TRREB also recorded 2 semi-detached sales, 1 freehold townhouse sale and 1 condo townhouse sale, without prices. In the south nearly every freehold purchase in the quarter was a detached house.

Detached houses make up so much of each quarter that the all property types median mostly tracks the detached market. With 52 to 65 sales per community in three months, compare several quarters before relying on a single figure.

Ownership was 75.2% in the north and 68.5% in the south. The City’s list of heritage conservation districts includes Blythwood Road, created in 2005.

Downsizing in Lawrence Park

The smaller-home stock is thin. From April to June 2026 there were 11 condo apartment sales across both communities and 12 semi-detached sales, against 92 detached sales.

The condo apartments that do sell are concentrated in Lawrence Park South, where the median was about $1,100,000 across 9 sales. That is about half the detached median in Lawrence Park North and about 40% of it in Lawrence Park South, so an owner selling a detached house could stay in the area and release equity. The limit is choice, with only a handful of units selling each quarter.

Semi-detached houses in Lawrence Park North, at a median of about $1,700,000, are another option for owners who want to stay in a house with less space. Many downsizers also look at Yonge and Eglinton, where condo apartments make up most sales. Our downsizing guide covers timing the sale and the purchase.

Is Lawrence Park right for you

Lawrence Park fits if your budget reaches the detached or semi-detached prices in the table and you want a house near Line 1. The direct ride to Union station from Lawrence station suits downtown commuters.

It is harder if you need a condo apartment with plenty of choice. The same goes for a house under $1,500,000. In that case compare these prices with Yonge and Eglinton and Leaside, which has its own Line 5 stations.
