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 E08 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Guildwood and Scarborough Village; it is wider than the neighbourhood itself, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote for any one building.
One caution: district E08 had only 31 condo leases in the quarter, so a few unusual suites can move the average a lot.
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 Guildwood and Scarborough Village as a renter
Quiet, green lakeside neighbourhoods near the Scarborough Bluffs. They mix 1950s–60s houses, Guildwood's planned village and a limited number of 1970s–2000s condos, alongside a larger stock of purpose-built rental apartments. They suit renters who want space and nature and who are willing to commute by GO train.
| Guildwood and Scarborough Village in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | Scarborough Village: Kingston Rd (south) to Eglinton Ave E (north), centred on Markham Rd. Guildwood: south of Kingston Rd to the Scarborough Bluffs, entered at Kingston Rd & Guildwood Pkwy (the Guildwood Gates). |
| Transit | Guildwood GO (Kingston Rd, Lakeshore East line; also served by some VIA Rail corridor trains) and Eglinton GO (Lakeshore East) are the rail stations. TTC buses along Kingston Rd and Eglinton Ave E run west to Kennedy station (Line 2 Bloor-Danforth and Line 5 Eglinton, open since 8 Feb 2026 from Mount Dennis to Kennedy). |
| Everyday life | Guild Park and Gardens and the Bluffs trails; Markington Square (the largest plaza in Scarborough Village) and plazas along Kingston Rd and Eglinton Ave E for groceries; Scarborough Village Community Centre. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Guildwood; Scarborough Village |
Things renters in Guildwood and Scarborough Village should know
- The GO train is the fast option downtown (Guildwood or Eglinton GO, Lakeshore East line); TTC-only commutes run by bus to Kennedy and can be long.
- Condo supply is small and many towers are purpose-built rentals, so condo listings here are few; widen your search to nearby buildings in the same corridor.
- Most condos here are 1970s–90s buildings with large suites, and fees often include hydro; the only newer option is the 2021 mid-rise at 3655 Kingston Rd.
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 Guildwood and Scarborough Village, Gates of Guildwood II and Prominence Point 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.
