How I chose them: I looked at The Junction the way a tenant should — how quickly you reach transit, what the building actually offers day to day, suite sizes, building age and condition, and how many units come up for lease so you have choice. This is my own shortlist, not a paid or third-party ranking, and every building fact below is linked to a source at the end.

Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026. District W02 is the TRREB reporting area that covers The Junction; it is wider than the neighbourhood itself, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote for any one building.
Across the GTA, average condo rents were still below a year earlier in Q2 2026 — one-bedrooms down 2.3% and two-bedrooms down 1.7% — with 27,844 units listed for rent against 21,251 leased. TRREB says conditions still favour renters, which means there is usually room to negotiate on start date, parking or a longer term.

Living in The Junction as a renter
A former railway and industrial district (the Ontario Stockyards closed in 1993) that has become a creative, restaurant-heavy west-end neighbourhood. The Junction kept its main-street character on Dundas W, while the Junction Triangle's old factory lands are being redeveloped with offices and condos around Sterling Rd and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).
| The Junction in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | The Junction: roughly Annette St (south), St. Clair Ave W (north), Runnymede Rd (west) and the rail corridor (east), with Dundas St W as the main street. Junction Triangle: the area inside the three rail corridors east of the Junction, around Dupont St, Sterling Rd and Lansdowne Ave. The Stockyards: St. Clair Ave W around Keele St and Runnymede Rd. |
| Transit | Line 2 stations: Keele, Dundas West and Lansdowne (all on Bloor). Bloor GO (Kitchener line) and UP Express at Bloor/Dundas West. 40 Junction bus along Dundas W; 512 St. Clair streetcar (western end at Gunns Loop); 505 Dundas streetcar to Dundas West station. West Toronto Railpath for cycling. |
| Everyday life | Dundas St W strip in the Junction (restaurants, bars, independent shops); Stockyards Village big-box centre on St. Clair W (Metro, Home Depot, Canadian Tire); the Metro and Shoppers Drug Mart at Fuse (Dupont & Lansdowne); Campbell Park, the West Toronto Railpath, High Park to the south. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Junction Area; Junction-Wallace Emerson (formerly Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction) |
Things renters in The Junction should know
- Much of the Junction is a bus ride (40 Junction) from the subway; buildings closer to Bloor and the GO/UP station suit commuters better.
- Rail corridors run through the area; suites facing the tracks can hear trains.
- More new supply is coming in the Junction Triangle (e.g. Sterling Junction and the Lower Junction redevelopment); check current construction near any building.
Before you sign a condo lease
- Use the Ontario Standard Lease. Landlords of most private rental units, condos included, must use the province’s standard lease template for new leases.
- Deposits are capped. A landlord can ask for a rent deposit of no more than one month’s rent, and it must go toward your last month. Damage deposits are not allowed; a key or fob deposit must be refundable. See Ontario rental deposit rules.
- Check the rent-control date. The annual guideline (2.1% for 2026, 1.9% for 2027) does not apply to units first occupied as residences after 15 November 2018. Ask when the building was first occupied — in newer towers your increases are negotiable, not capped.
- Get utilities in writing. Newer towers usually meter hydro separately; many older buildings include it in the condo fee. It can be a real monthly difference.
- Read the condo rules. Tenants must follow the corporation’s declaration and rules — pets, move-in bookings, elevator deposits and short-term rental bans all live there.
The takeaway
In The Junction, Fuse Condos and Heintzman Place are where I would start, but the right building depends on your commute and whether you want amenities or square footage. Compare the all-in monthly cost — rent, hydro, parking, locker — not the headline rent, and remember that in Q2 2026 renters, not landlords, had the upper hand across the GTA.

Stockyards District Residences at 2300 and 2306 St. Clair Ave W: steps to buses on St. Clair W and Runnymede; the 512 St. Clair streetcar's western end at Gunns Loop is close by.
Are older or newer condos better to rent in The Junction?

Yes for units first occupied as residences on or before 15 November 2018, where increases are limited to the provincial guideline (2.1% in 2026 and 1.9% in 2027) once every 12 months. Units first occupied after that date are exempt from the guideline.
Do I pay a realtor to help me rent a condo?
On most MLS condo leases in the GTA the landlord pays the brokerage commission, but always confirm in writing before signing any agreement. I can search these buildings and review the lease with you.
