Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026. District C04 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Lawrence Park and Yonge-Lawrence; 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 Lawrence Park and Yonge-Lawrence as a renter
A prestigious, low-density residential area of large detached homes and ravines. Condos are mainly low- and mid-rise buildings along Yonge St, many with large suites and owner-occupiers.
| Lawrence Park and Yonge-Lawrence in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | Yonge St corridor roughly from Blythwood Rd/Chatsworth Dr north to Lawrence Ave and beyond; Lawrence Park lies east of Yonge (to Mount Pleasant/Bayview), Bedford Park and Lytton Park west of Yonge toward Avenue Rd. |
| Transit | Lawrence station (Line 1 Yonge-University); Eglinton station (Line 1 and Line 5) to the south. Frequent Yonge and Lawrence buses. No Line 5 station in the area. |
| Everyday life | Yonge St shops and restaurants around Lawrence Ave; Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens; Sherwood Park and the Lawrence Park ravine system; Avenue Rd shops to the west. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Lawrence Park South; Lawrence Park North; Bedford Park-Nortown |
Things renters in Lawrence Park and Yonge-Lawrence should know
- Condo rental supply is limited; expect fewer listings and larger, pricier units than at Yonge & Eglinton.
- Most condos front Yonge Street, so ask about noise on the Yonge side.
- The Yonge corridor near Lawrence has several redevelopment proposals; new supply may arrive in coming years but little is ready now.
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 Lawrence Park and Yonge-Lawrence, 3018 Yonge and The Lawrence Park Condominiums 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.

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.
