St. Andrew-Windfields
Location & Character
St. Andrew-Windfields is one of Toronto's most prestigious residential neighbourhoods in the Borough of North York, bounded by Lawrence Avenue East to the south, the Bridle Path to the east, and Yonge Street to the west. It's characterized by large detached houses on generous lots, tree-lined streets, and a quiet, established character that has attracted Toronto's business and professional elite for generations.
The neighbourhood is named in part for E.P. Taylor's Windfields estate — now the site of the Windfields condominiums and York University's Glendon Campus. The York Mills corridor provides commercial amenity, and the neighbourhood's position on the Yonge Street subway corridor gives better transit than its suburban feel suggests.
Transit
Four subway stations (Lawrence, York Mills on the Yonge line) and 116 bus stops provide solid connectivity for a suburban residential neighbourhood. The Yonge corridor subway is a genuine asset.
Landmarks & Amenities
Glendon Campus of York University, sixteen parks, 8 schools, 30 dining options, 6 groceries, and 1 healthcare facility serve the neighbourhood. York Mills Road's commercial strip and the Lawrence and Yonge retail nodes supplement local services.
Parks & Green Space
Sixteen parks and proximity to the Sunnybrook ravine system give residents excellent outdoor access. The neighbourhood's interior streets feature ravine-edge properties with direct trail connections.
Rental Market
With only 26 listings, this is a very thin rental market. Average rent is $6,396 and median $4,675 — among the highest medians in this batch. The range ($1,000–$35,000) spans basement units in estate homes through full house rentals. This is a prestige rental market with limited inventory.
Who It's Best For
St. Andrew-Windfields suits high-income renters, executives, and diplomatic families seeking the privacy and prestige of North York's finest residential corridor with Yonge subway access. The rental market is thin but prestigious.
