How I chose them: I looked at Yorkdale 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 W04 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Yorkdale; 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 Yorkdale as a renter
A post-war area of 1950s-60s brick houses with a long-established Italian-Canadian community, next to Yorkdale Shopping Centre and the Orfus Road outlet/industrial district. Lawrence Heights is being rebuilt under the multi-phase Lawrence-Allen Revitalization, which is adding new condos and townhouses.
| Yorkdale in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | Yorkdale-Glen Park: Highway 401 (north), Allen Road (east), a line just south of Stayner Ave (south) and the rail corridor (west). Lawrence Heights is in the northeast part, around Lawrence Ave W and the Allen. |
| Transit | Line 1 Yonge-University: Yorkdale, Lawrence West and Glencairn stations along the Allen Road. Buses: 29 Dufferin, 52 Lawrence West, 109 Ranee, 14 Glencairn, 47 Lansdowne, 59 Maple Leaf. Highway 401 and Allen Road for drivers. |
| Everyday life | Yorkdale Shopping Centre; Lawrence Plaza; Orfus Road outlet shopping; Dufferin St and Marlee Ave shops; Lawrence Square is nearby at Lawrence and Allen. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Yorkdale-Glen Park (Lawrence Heights redevelopment straddles Yorkdale-Glen Park and neighbouring areas) |
Things renters in Yorkdale should know
- The Allen Road and Highway 401 bring traffic noise and fumes; suites facing the highway or the Allen are noisier.
- Line 1 stations make downtown and York University commutes easy, and Yorkdale is a major bus and GO bus hub.
- More new supply is coming as the Lawrence Heights revitalization continues, with construction activity around Lawrence West and the Allen.
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 Yorkdale, The Yorkdale Condos and Treviso 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.
