Top 10 Cheapest Areas in the GTA to Buy aHome

When it comes to buying a home, the first thing buyers consider is price.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, you'll have to narrow down your options by price. Like any other major purchase, you want to make sure you're not spending any more than you can afford.

But when it comes to Toronto's real estate market these days, home prices are way out of reach for many. It can be tough to find a home in an area that fits comfortably within your budget.

That's why we've created a list of the top 10 most affordable areas in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Below we've listed home prices by neighbourhood code and split the categories into single-family detached homes and townhouses.

These are the most up-to-date figures from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TREBB) as of August 2023.
