East End-Danforth, Toronto

East End-Danforth is a residential area of east-end Toronto built mostly around a street grid, with low-rise houses on most blocks and a smaller share of condo apartments. Streets run in a regular pattern near the Danforth commercial corridor, and the buildings range widely in age, with most homes sold having been built between 1926 and 2018. Detached and semi-detached houses make up most of the housing, with condo apartments and freehold townhouses mixed in. Semi-detached houses accounted for 38% of sales in the last 24 months and detached houses for 32%. Condo apartments were 16% and freehold townhouses 6%. In that period 329 homes sold at a median price of $1,100,000, and the median time on market was 9 days. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. There are 23 homes for sale at present. Three stations lie inside the area: Danforth, Main Street and Woodbine. Danforth Avenue is the main east-west road, and the Bloor-Danforth subway line runs beneath it. Main Street and Woodbine stations are also on that line. Surface transit runs along nearby roads such as Coxwell Avenue, Woodbine Avenue and Kingston Road.
