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 E05 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Tam O’Shanter and L’Amoreaux; 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 Tam O’Shanter and L’Amoreaux as a renter
Leafy, established Scarborough suburbs: 1960s Bridlewood family subdivisions, the public Tam O'Shanter golf course, and pockets of condo towers. Older 1970s–90s towers at Warden/Finch and on Bonis Ave are known for very large suites, while newer mid-rises have gone up along Sheppard Ave E.
| Tam O'Shanter and L'Amoreaux in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan: Hwy 401 (south) to Huntingwood Dr (north), Victoria Park/Pharmacy Ave (west) to Kennedy Rd (east). L'Amoreaux: north of Huntingwood Dr to McNicoll Ave, Victoria Park Ave to Kennedy Rd, centred on Warden & Finch (Bridlewood Mall, Bridletowne Circle). |
| Transit | No subway or LRT inside the area. TTC buses along Sheppard Ave E to Don Mills station (Line 4), along Finch Ave E to Finch station (Line 1), and north-south on Warden, Pharmacy, Birchmount and Kennedy to Line 2 stations. Agincourt GO (Stouffville line) is just east of Kennedy on Sheppard, within walking distance of the Bonis Ave towers. Quick access to Hwy 401 and 404/DVP. |
| Everyday life | Bridlewood Mall (Warden & Finch) and Agincourt Mall (Kennedy & Sheppard, on Bonis Ave) for groceries and everyday shopping; plazas along Sheppard, Finch and Warden have many Chinese and South Asian restaurants and supermarkets. Green space includes Tam O'Shanter Golf Course (public), L'Amoreaux Park, and Bridlewood, Wishing Well and Vradenburg parks. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan; L'Amoreaux |
Things renters in Tam O’Shanter and L’Amoreaux should know
- Commutes depend on buses to Lines 1, 2 or 4 (or GO from Agincourt), so budget extra travel time compared with subway-adjacent areas.
- The 1970s–90s Tridel towers (Bridletowne Circle, Bonis Ave) have very large suites and fees that include hydro, so all-inclusive rent is common; newer Sheppard Ave mid-rises have small suites and usually separate hydro.
- Towers along Bonis Ave near Kennedy are close to Hwy 401 and Agincourt Mall traffic; the Bridletowne Circle towers are set back in park-like grounds.
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 Tam O’Shanter and L’Amoreaux, Wish Condos and JOY Condos 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.
