Regent Park, Toronto

Regent Park is a downtown-east Toronto neighbourhood of mostly recent mid-rise and high-rise buildings, with a street grid that includes Dundas Street East, Parliament Street and Gerrard Street East along its edges. The area is dense, and most of its buildings are newer. Most homes sold in the past 24 months were built between 2013 and 2023, so the typical building is a contemporary condominium tower or mid-rise. Some freehold townhouses sit among them. Open space is set between the buildings, and several parks lie inside the area. Twelve homes are for sale right now, and 136 sold over the last 24 months. Condo apartments made up 87% of those sales and freehold townhouses 5%. The typical home sold had one bedroom. The median sale price was $590,000, and the median time on the market was 26.5 days. No train or subway stations are on record inside the area. Getting around relies on surface routes nearby. Dundas Street East, Parliament Street and Gerrard Street East carry traffic through and beside the neighbourhood, and TTC streetcar and bus routes run along the surrounding streets. The Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway are reachable to the east and south for longer trips. Shops and services are of the everyday kind: cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies. They are found mainly along the surrounding main streets and at the ground level of newer buildings. The parks inside the area are Louis March Park, Oak Street Park, Oak Street Parkette, Regent Park and Regent Park Athletic Grounds. Two community centres are located here: Daniels Spectrum and Regent Park Community Centre. Nelson Mandela Park Public School, part of the Toronto District School Board, is the school inside the area.
