Situated just south of the 401 — this North York neighbourhood is best known for its winding residential streets and stately homes, but there’s plenty here for those who don’t own a house in the area; York Mills has a sizable commercial centre in the eastern portion of the neighbourhood, which is packed with offices, retail stores, fitness centres, restaurants and even a few pubs.

Condos for rent in York Mills can be found in 8 buildings — as a general rule, properties in this neighbourhood have relaxing amenities and rent for above average prices; Hillside At York Mills II Condos for example, has desirable amenities that include a pool and sauna, but you’d be hard pressed to find a unit for rent below the GTA average here.

York Mills condos for rent tend to have spacious layouts; most buildings don’t have a single unit that’s below 700 square feet.
