Homes in Hampton Heights are worth a median $600,000
It is the middle of what 890 owner households told the 2021 census. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Hampton Heights’s homes actually sold for. Assessors valued the median residential property at $353,000 for 2024. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Hampton Heights doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Hamilton.
