An apartment town: 84% of Uptown’s homes, against 13% across Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $640,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $623,252. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Uptown.
