The middle home was worth $650,000 at the 2021 census, the average $802,702. Keep in mind these are owners’ estimates from the 2021 census, not recorded sales. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Regent Park included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Regent Park’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario. Regent Park doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Toronto.
