Apartments make up 42% of the homes in Maple Leaf, where Ontario’s towns have 13%
By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $1,000,000; the average was $1,125,330. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Maple Leaf’s homes actually sold for. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $557,000. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns. Maple Leaf doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Toronto.
