152 Homestead Road Townhouses: 39 Homes by Morningside Park

152 Homestead Road is a quiet, 39-home townhouse complex near the corner of Lawrence and Morningside, close to the edge of Toronto’s largest municipal park. It is one of the oldest condo townhouse corporations in this part of West Hill, which makes its paperwork more important than its paint. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A small, early corporation on a residential street

YCC-447 was registered on 29 December 1978, a few months ahead of the other townhouse corporations nearby: 443 Manse Road (YCC-483) in July 1979 and West Hill Heights on Collinsgrove Road (YCC-498) that November. It is the oldest of the three on paper and, at 39 homes, one of the smallest.

Homestead Road is a residential street rather than an arterial, which is the main day-to-day advantage here. You are close to Lawrence Avenue East and Morningside Avenue for buses and shopping, without fronting onto either.

There is a much newer neighbour on the same street. 138 Homestead Road is a 22-suite, three-storey condominium built in 2002. If you are torn between an older townhouse and a newer low-rise suite, those two addresses make a useful side-by-side comparison of space, fees and age.

Small complex, short amenity list

The amenity list is BBQs permitted, garage parking and visitor parking. There is no pool or party room on record, which keeps the corporation’s operating costs simple. In a complex this small, simple is good: there are only 39 owners to share the cost of anything.

That same arithmetic is the main risk. When a roof cycle, a window replacement or a repaving job comes due, the bill is divided 39 ways. A well-run small complex plans for that years in advance; a poorly funded one sends owners a special levy. The reserve fund study tells you which kind this is.

Larlyn Property Management is listed as the manager, the same firm condos.ca lists for West Hill Heights nearby. Condos.ca does not list what the fee includes, so confirm that in the status certificate rather than assuming water or anything else is bundled.

What a 1978 townhouse needs looked at

At 48 years old, the shared exterior has been renewed at least once. Ask when the roofs, windows and doors, fences and paving were last done and how they were paid for. Read the declaration for who is responsible for each item, because in many townhouse complexes windows and doors are a corporation cost and in others they are the owner’s.

Condos.ca lists a parking garage. Find out whether that means each home has its own garage or whether there is a shared structure, since the repair responsibility and the reserve fund exposure are very different.

Inside, have an inspector check the electrical system, as homes of this age can include aluminum branch wiring, and look closely at the basement or lowest level for any history of water. Note the age of the furnace, air conditioner and water heater, and whether the water heater is rented.

Finally, look at the yard and patio. In complexes of this age the backyard is often exclusive-use common element: it is yours to use, but the corporation sets the rules for fences, decks, sheds and plantings. If you are planning a deck or a new fence, read the rules in the status certificate before you firm up, and ask the manager whether board approval is needed for the change you have in mind.

Next to the Highland Creek valley

The reason to live here is the valley. Morningside Park is bounded by Lawrence Avenue East on the south and Morningside Avenue on the east, so this corner of West Hill sits close to its edge. At about 241 hectares it is Toronto’s largest municipal park, with trails, picnic areas and a wild, forested feel along Highland Creek.

The valley has its own history. After the Second World War, cottages on the floodplain were turned into housing, and when Hurricane Hazel hit in 1954 it caused severe damage. The floodplain was taken into public ownership afterwards, which is why it is parkland today rather than streets.

The University of Toronto Scarborough is a short distance north, and its forested lands link with Morningside Park and Colonel Danforth Park into one continuous green corridor. Kingston Road, a few minutes south, is where most daily shopping happens.

The City’s proposed Eglinton East LRT would run up Morningside Avenue past this area. As of April 2026 it was still a proposal without a confirmed opening date, and the province had said it was not on its priority list. The panel on this page shows what transit is available now.

Reading the price with very little data

One home was listed for sale at the time of writing, and condos.ca does not publish a size range or an average price per square foot for this complex. A single listing is not a market, so I would not anchor on it.

With 39 homes, resales here are occasional, and the sold data in the panel above may reflect only a few trades. I would price a home here against recent sales in the complex if there are any, then against townhouse sales at West Hill Heights, 443 Manse Road and other late-1970s complexes in West Hill, adjusted for size, finishes and the condition of the mechanicals.

Ask for the current fee and the last three years of fee changes. Steady, modest increases are what a healthy small corporation looks like. A long freeze followed by a sharp jump usually means the reserve fund was catching up.

Amenities at 152 Homestead Road Townhouses

There are no shared facilities to speak of, so the fee is going to the grounds, the exterior and the reserve fund. Morningside Park is effectively the amenity here, and it costs nothing.
