73 Driftwood Avenue Townhouses: 108 Homes From 1969 Near Line 6

The townhouses at 71 to 87 Driftwood Avenue and London Green Court were registered in April 1969 as YCC-6, the sixth corporation in the York condominium series. They were built when Jane and Finch was the fastest-growing part of North York, and they now sit near a brand-new light rail line on Finch. That combination of an old corporation and new transit is what buyers here are really weighing. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Built in Jane and Finch’s boom decade

Between 1961 and 1971, the population of the Jane and Finch area grew from about 1,300 people to about 33,000, accounting for more than 40 per cent of North York’s growth in that decade. Much of it came through planned housing: high-rise apartments, townhouse complexes and houses built in quick succession on former farmland.

This complex was part of that first wave. A YCC number in single digits means it was among the very first condominium corporations registered in this part of Toronto, at a time when owning a townhouse as a condominium was a brand-new idea in Ontario.

That history explains the layout of the site. Complexes of this era were often planned as inward-facing groups of row houses around shared lanes, parking and green space, with a court or crescent like London Green Court tying them together. Walk the whole site, not just the unit, to understand how yours fits into it.

108 homes: a mid-sized corporation

At 108 homes, this corporation is large enough to spread major costs reasonably well, but small enough that the board and the owners still matter. A roof or paving program shared among 108 households is far more manageable than the same work in a complex of 16 or 39.

Size does not replace good planning, though. After 57 years the complex has been through at least one full cycle of roofs, windows and paving, and possibly two. Read the reserve fund study to see where each component sits now, what was replaced most recently, and whether the corporation has been contributing what the study recommends.

Condos.ca does not list any amenities or a parking garage for this complex, so ask directly how parking works: whether each home has a driveway or garage, whether spaces are in a shared lot, and how many visitor spaces there are. On a site this size, the parking arrangement shapes daily life more than any interior finish. If you have two cars, ask about the rules for second vehicles and overnight visitor parking before you make an offer, not after.

The fee, the manager and the questions to ask

Property Service Enterprises is listed as the manager. Fee inclusions are not published, so ask for the budget and fee schedule. In townhouse complexes of this age, heat and hydro are usually paid by each owner through their own furnace and meter, and water is sometimes included and sometimes not.

Ask the second question too: what does the declaration make you responsible for? In some 1960s corporations owners replace their own windows and doors; in others the corporation runs a replacement program for everyone. The answer can make a moderate fee look very different once you add back what you would pay yourself.

There was one home listed for sale here at the time of writing. I do not quote a single listing’s asking price or fee. What matters more is that you compare that fee, once you have it, against the budget and what the corporation actually maintains, rather than against a fee in a different complex with a different declaration.

Driftwood, Line 6 and a neighbourhood being replanned

Line 6 Finch West opened on 7 December 2025 along Finch Avenue West, with stops at Jane and Finch and at Driftwood, named for this very street. The line connects east to Line 1 at Finch West station and west to Humber Polytechnic’s North Campus. The data panel on this page shows the walking distance to the stops.

The area is also under active planning. The City’s Jane and Finch Initiative produced a secondary plan to guide new development around the intersection, alongside a Community Development Plan for 2024 to 2034. Proposals in the area have included a redevelopment of the Jane and Finch Mall and new condominium buildings on Jane Street.

For an owner here, that means more change on the Finch and Jane corridors over the next decade: more housing, more construction and, if the plans proceed, more shops and services. The interior of a townhouse site is usually insulated from the worst of the construction, but it is worth knowing what is proposed nearby.

Reading the price in a 108-home complex

Condos.ca does not publish a building price per square foot for this complex, and with only one active listing there is no range of asking prices to report. The recorded sales and leases in the data panel on this page are the place to start.

With 108 homes, there are usually enough sales over a few years to build a fair comparison, but adjust each one for renovation level, basement finish, parking and which part of the site the home is in. A home backing onto Driftwood Avenue and one tucked inside London Green Court are not identical, even with the same floor plan.

Compare, too, with other 1960s and 1970s condominium townhouses near Jane and Finch, such as the complex at 366 to 384 Driftwood Avenue north of Finch, and with small freehold houses nearby. I can pull all of these through my building sold report.
