Quick answer

Davisville Village, if you care what your unit is worth in five years. Yorkville, if you genuinely do not. TRREB’s C10 district, which covers Davisville, posted a composite benchmark of $929,600 in August 2026, up 2.56% year over year — the only rising district benchmark in midtown or north Toronto, against a city-wide fall of 3.73%. Yorkville has no benchmark at all, because it has no MLS community code and no City of Toronto neighbourhood. Its sales are filed under the Annex, where condo apartments averaged $1,192K against a median of $818K in Q1 2026. That 46% gap is the only honest Yorkville number anyone can put in front of you.

Same subway line, opposite market discipline

A downsizer with a budget between $600K and $1.3M can shop in both of these, and I have taken the same client to both in one afternoon. They sit on the same Yonge spine of Line 1: Davisville station is 10 stops from Union, Bloor-Yonge is 6. Four stops apart, and about as far apart as two condo markets in one city can get.

The gap is not lifestyle. It is discipline. In August 2026 the C10 district that covers Davisville posted a composite benchmark of $929,600, up 2.56% year over year while the City of Toronto composite fell 3.73% to $918,400. Its apartment benchmark, $597,900, was down 1.53% against a city apartment figure of −6.88%. Over the same stretch, the district Yorkville is filed inside sold condo apartments at 94% of list in an average 43 days.

Neither of these names is a neighbourhood you can look up

Yorkville is the more extreme case. TRREB reports it in C02 under the community Annex, and C02 contains exactly four communities — Annex, Casa Loma, Wychwood and Yonge-St. Clair. There is no Yorkville code. On the City map, Yorkville Ave at Hazelton and Yorkville Ave at Bay both fall inside neighbourhood #95 Annex, and the far north-east corner near Bloor and Yonge falls into #98 Rosedale-Moore Park.

Davisville has the opposite problem: too many official identities. TRREB reports it in C10 across two communities, Mount Pleasant West and Mount Pleasant East. The City’s legacy unit was #104 Mount Pleasant West, and in the April 2022 restructure it was split into #173 North Toronto and #174 South Eglinton-Davisville. Most portals and most older City data still use #104. Mount Pleasant West runs west of Mount Pleasant Rd, north of Merton St, east of Yonge and south of Keewatin Ave; Mount Pleasant East runs Bayview Ave to Mount Pleasant Rd, Moore Ave to Blythwood Rd.

A RISING INDEX AND AN INVENTED AVERAGE ARE NOT THE SAME KIND OF NUMBERYou can follow the C10 benchmark month by month, because TRREB publishes it. You cannot follow Yorkville at all. There is no Yorkville MLS community code and no City of Toronto Yorkville neighbourhood, so every Yorkville average price in circulation was assembled by whoever quoted it. The nearest defensible proxy is the 46% gap between the Annex community’s $1,192K condo average and its $818K median.

The numbers, and the one midtown benchmark that went up

Community-level figures are Q1 2026 (January to March), the most recent quarter TRREB publishes at community level and therefore roughly six months old. District figures are Q2 or August 2026, and I have labelled which is which.

Condo apartments	Yorkville (filed as Annex, C02)	Davisville (Mount Pleasant West, C10)
Sales, Q1 2026	48	89
Average price, Q1 2026	$1,192K	$632K
Median price, Q1 2026	$818K	$615K
New listings in the quarter	207	226
Sales-to-new-listings	23%	39%
Days on market	42	40
Sale-to-list	96%	97%
District condo benchmark, Aug 2026	No Yorkville benchmark exists	$597,900, down 1.53%

Start with the sales-to-new-listings line. Davisville’s condo market took on more new supply than the Annex did — 226 against 207 — and absorbed it at nearly twice the rate. Both ratios describe a buyer’s market. Only one of them describes a market a seller can reliably exit.

The short version of that

Davisville has more listings and clears them faster. Yorkville has fewer listings and cannot move them. If you might need to sell inside five years, that difference matters far more than which lobby you prefer.

Why 94% of list should worry a Yorkville seller more than a buyer

In Q2 2026 the C02 district sold 122 condo apartments against 393 new listings and 239 active, at an average of $1,287,436, a median of $822,500, 94% of list and 43 average days on market. That 94% is the weakest sale-to-list discipline of any downtown district, and 43 days the slowest. Six percentage points off list price is real money at these levels, and it is the buyer who collects it.

C10 behaves differently. In August 2026 the district ran 97% of list at 33 days across 35 sales of all types, with 3.8 months of inventory against 4.6 city-wide. Year to date 2026 it recorded 426 sales at an average of $1,011,121, 99% of list and 29 average days on market. That is a market with functioning price discovery.

What the 46% spread actually tells you

Halfway down the Annex’s 48 condo sales in Q1 2026, a unit traded at $818,000. The mean sat 46% higher at $1,192K. Only a thin tail of trophy trades does that, and the tail is Yorkville. If you are buying inside that tail, your appraiser is working from a small, widely dispersed comparable set — and so is your lender.

What the buildings are actually made of

Davisville is a hard bipolar split with Mount Pleasant Rd as the line. On the Yonge side, #174 South Eglinton-Davisville holds 13,185 households, 85.7% of them in apartment buildings of five storeys or more, with 475 detached houses in total, 69.6% renters and a 2020 median household income of $80,000; 21.7% of the stock was built between 2016 and 2021. #173 North Toronto is more extreme still: 9,430 households, 89.9% in tall apartments, 15 detached houses in the entire neighbourhood, 81.4% renters, median income $70,000, and 30.9% of the stock under ten years old.

Cross Mount Pleasant Rd and it inverts. #99 Mount Pleasant East has 7,170 households, 29.9% detached and 22.0% semi-detached, 55.1% owner-occupied, a median household income of $110,000 and 51.5% of its stock built before 1960 — the interwar brick belt. Buyers who say “Davisville” often mean one of these and get shown the other.

Yorkville’s stock is luxury high-rise condominium and branded-residence hotel-condo over a base of surviving Victorian cottages and semis on Hazelton, Scollard, Berryman and Yorkville Aves, most now galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Cottages from the 1830s to 1880s; towers from the 1970s, accelerating after 2000; named hotel and branded residences including the Four Seasons, the Park Hyatt, the Windsor Arms, The Hazelton and W Toronto. That is why one statistic covers both an ordinary 1980s apartment and a hotel-serviced residence, and why the average and the median disagree so violently.

Getting around: the busiest interchange against a new line

Davisville has Davisville station at 1900 Yonge St, opened 30 March 1954 and accessible since 2002, plus Eglinton and St Clair. Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026, adding Eglinton — the Line 1 interchange — and Mount Pleasant at Mount Pleasant Rd and Eglinton Ave, whose entrance reuses the catalogued, brick-by-brick disassembled façade of the 1928 Imperial Bank of Canada building. Buses at Davisville: 11 Bayview, 14 Glencairn, 28 Bayview South, 97 Yonge. At Mount Pleasant: 34 Eglinton, 74 Mount Pleasant, 103 Mount Pleasant North, 334 Blue Night.

Yorkville is served by Museum and Bloor-Yonge on Line 1 and by Bay and Bloor-Yonge on Line 2. Bloor-Yonge is the busiest interchange in the system, six stops from Union, and that is a convenience at ten in the morning and something else at half past eight. On the surface it is the 6 Bay and the 94 Wellesley, and not much else.

Neither has a GO station. Yorkville has no UP Express stop either — the nearest is Bloor at Dundas West, roughly 3 km west. Highway access is poor on both sides: from Yorkville, Avenue Rd or Mount Pleasant north to the Allen, or the DVP via Bayview; from Davisville, the DVP via Bayview or Bloor St E and the Allen via Eglinton Ave W. The Ontario Line does not serve Yorkville. And one detail Davisville buyers should hear before an offer night: Davisville Yard is the TTC’s main Line 1 maintenance yard, immediately at the station, which is why the Beltline has to bridge over Yonge here.

Schools and families, read carefully

The rankings below are Fraser Institute, data year 2023/24, and both the TDSB and OPSBA dispute the methodology. I use them as one input, not a verdict.

On the Davisville side, secondary is the strong end: North Toronto CI ranks 46 of 742 with a rating of 8.4 (five-year rank 17, rating 8.8), Northern SS ranks 65 at 8.2 and is improving, and Lawrence Park CI immediately north ranks 15 at 9.1. Elementary needs care. Davisville JPS ranks 1,426 with a rating of 6.2 against a five-year rank of 461 and a rating of 7.5, and the school was displaced by its own site rebuild, which may well confound the data — so I would not sell it to you as a top-rated school, and I would not write it off either. Maurice Cody JPS, Hodgson Senior PS and Eglinton JPS are not ranked in the current report, which is different from being rated poorly.

Yorkville, by contrast, is served by a single public school — Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School at 61 Davenport Rd, JK-8, whose 500-plus students represent 55 countries — in a neighbourhood with very few school-age families. Whichever side you are on, check catchments on the TDSB “Find Your School” tool by address rather than trusting any article, this one included.

The downsides on both sides

Yorkville first.

Liquidity is thin enough to matter. 122 condo apartments traded across the whole C02 district in Q2 2026 against 393 new listings and 239 active, and the Annex community managed a 23% sales-to-new-listings ratio in Q1. Comparables are unreliable and dispersion is wide.
The weakest sale-to-list discipline and the slowest sales downtown — 94% and 43 days in Q2 2026.
Hotel-grade services carry hotel-grade fees. Verify them building by building; there is no credible published norm and I will not invent one.
The Bloor and Yonge edge after dark. The neighbouring Yonge-Bay Corridor recorded a 2025 assault rate of 3,361 per 100,000 against 767.9 city-wide, and robbery at 300 per 100,000.

Davisville next, and its problems are noisier but more fixable.

Condo oversupply is real and measurable. 226 new listings against 89 sales in Mount Pleasant West in one quarter, at 40 days on market. A rising district composite does not rescue an individual investor-grade unit in an investor-heavy building.
It is a renter’s district. 69.6% renters in South Eglinton-Davisville and 81.4% in North Toronto. That shapes building culture, turnover and how reserve funds get voted on.
Construction, continuously. The Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre broke ground on 12 November 2024 with completion expected February 2027; Davisville Ave is under an active City redesign consultation; and the Yonge and Eglinton node has been a construction zone for over a decade.
Small samples in the monthly data. C10’s August 2026 detached average of $2,289,400 rests on five sales and the semi average of $1,421,667 on three. Do not treat either as a price level.

Who each one is actually for

I would rather talk someone out of the wrong purchase than into the right one, so here it is plainly.

Yorkville suits a buyer who is trading a house for a serviced apartment, who wants to walk to the ROM and Holt Renfrew, and — this is the condition, not a footnote — who would never be forced to sell into a market that trades 122 units a quarter at 94% of list.
Davisville suits a buyer who wants a functioning resale market, two subway lines including one that opened in February 2026, and a district benchmark that has actually held its ground. Choose the east side of Mount Pleasant Rd if you want a house and a 51.5% pre-1960 streetscape; choose the Yonge side if you want an elevator and a shorter shopping list.
Neither suits a driver who needs a fast highway connection, or a buyer who wants a GO train. Both are subway-first places and neither pretends otherwise.

If you want the district numbers as TRREB publishes them rather than as an article summarises them, my market report tracks them, and the condo value estimator is a sane starting point for a specific unit.

Common questions

Is Yorkville more expensive than Davisville Village?

Substantially. In Q1 2026 condo apartments in the Annex community, which is where TRREB files Yorkville, averaged $1,192K with a median of $818K across 48 sales. Mount Pleasant West, the Davisville condo spine, averaged $632K with a median of $615K across 89 sales. No published figure is Yorkville alone, because TRREB has no Yorkville community code.

Why is there no average price for Yorkville?

Because there is no Yorkville to average. TRREB’s C02 district covers Annex, Casa Loma, Wychwood and Yonge-St. Clair, and Yorkville appears on none of those lists. The City of Toronto has no Yorkville neighbourhood either. Whatever Yorkville average you are shown was put together by the person showing it, so ask which sales went into it before you rely on it.

Is the Davisville condo market oversupplied?

On the quarter’s evidence, yes. Mount Pleasant West recorded 226 new condo listings against 89 sales in Q1 2026, a 39% sales-to-new-listings ratio, with 40 average days on market at 97% of list. That is a buyer’s market. It is still nearly twice the absorption rate of the Annex community over the same quarter, which managed 23%.

Did Line 5 Eglinton lift prices in Davisville?

The data cannot tell you that. C10’s composite benchmark did rise 2.56% year over year to $929,600 in August 2026, the only rising district benchmark in midtown or north Toronto. But the neighbouring C11 district also gained two Line 5 stations on 8 February 2026 and its detached benchmark fell 6.93% over the same period. Treat any causal claim with suspicion.

How long is the commute from Davisville to downtown?

I will give you stop counts rather than minutes, because neither the TTC nor Metrolinx publishes citable station-to-station times. Davisville to Union is 10 stops on Line 1 and Eglinton to Union is 11. Bloor-Yonge, the station serving Yorkville, is 6 stops from Union and the busiest interchange in the system. Neither area has a GO station.

Which holds its value better, a Yorkville condo or a Davisville condo?

On published benchmarks, Davisville’s district. C10’s apartment benchmark was $597,900 in August 2026, down 1.53% year over year against a city-wide apartment figure of −6.88%. Yorkville has no benchmark to compare, and the district containing it sold at 94% of list in 43 days in Q2 2026. Thin trading is the risk that rarely gets priced.

Weighing a Yorkville unit against a Davisville one?

Send me both addresses and I will pull the building-level sale history, the real days on market and what the last three comparable units actually closed at, then tell you which one I would write on. If the answer is that you should wait, I will say that instead.
