Andrews Trail

Andrews Trail runs through the Clarke neighbourhood in north-central Milton, a street of townhomes and semis built in the early 2000s. It sits between Derry Road and Main Street East, a quiet residential corridor that connects to the broader grid without carrying through traffic. The street is framed by mature trees and well-kept lawns, with sidewalks on both sides and a consistent setback that gives it an orderly, suburban rhythm. Milton Community Park is a ten-minute walk south, and several schools lie within a five-minute drive. The street feels settled and family-oriented, a pocket of the city that has aged into its landscape.

Andrews Trail is a mix of townhomes and semis, with townhomes accounting for the majority of recent trades. The homes were built in the early 2000s, a period when Milton's Clarke neighbourhood was filling in with mid-density family housing. Townhomes here typically trade in the high-$800s to low-$900s, while semis settle around the same range. The stock is uniform in era but varied in layout: some units offer three bedrooms, others four, with attached garages and small private yards. Brick and vinyl siding dominate the exteriors, with neutral tones that give the street a cohesive look.

The semis on Andrews Trail are slightly larger in footprint, often with a second-storey overhang and a front porch. Townhomes are arranged in short rows, each with its own driveway and a patch of grass. The condition across the street is consistent; most homes have been updated with modern kitchens and flooring, reflecting a decade of owner occupancy. The lots are compact, typical of early-2000s infill, but the street's width and tree canopy keep it from feeling tight. It is a street where the housing stock serves a clear purpose: solid, unpretentious family homes in a neighbourhood that has found its rhythm.

Andrews Trail sits within a five-minute drive of most daily needs. Canadian Superstore and Walmart Milton are four and five minutes away respectively, covering grocery and household shopping. Milton District Hospital is six minutes by car, and the Milton GO Station is a fourteen-minute drive for commuters heading to Toronto. Highway 401 at James Snow Parkway is three minutes away, making the street a practical base for drivers.

Parks are within a short drive: Centennial Park and Rotary Park are each six minutes away, and Milton Community Park is a ten-minute walk. Several schools serve the area, including Irma Coulson Public School and Tiger Jeet Singh Public School, both five minutes away. Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School is four minutes from the street. For families, the combination of nearby schools, grocery access, and highway proximity defines the daily rhythm. The street is residential first, but the essentials are never far.

Andrews Trail has seen five sales over recent quarters, with typical prices moving through a volatile range. A townhouse traded around $900,000 in Q1 2025, followed by a rise to the low-$1Ms by Q2 2026, then a sharp pullback to around $800,000 in Q3 2026. The pattern reflects uneven demand across the window rather than sustained directional momentum. Days on market average around 103, indicating a moderate holding period before sale; the current active listing count sits at zero, suggesting limited immediate supply.

Lease activity on Andrews spans a narrow band. A one-bedroom unit rented around $1,600 per month, while three-bedroom and four-bedroom homes rented in the mid-$3,100s range, implying gross yields near 4 to 4.5% for detached or semi-detached configurations. The lease sample is small (three units across the recent window), but the spread between single-unit and family-home rental rates aligns with broader Milton patterns where larger homes attract proportionally higher monthly rents.

Across Clarke neighbourhood, comparable townhouse homes have traded at a typical price around $850,000 over the past year, with a full sample of 191 sales providing reliable pattern recognition. The neighbourhood-level market has softened modestly year-over-year, down roughly 5 percent from the prior period. Sold-to-ask ratio holds near 0.99, indicating buyers are securing homes very close to asking prices, a signal of balanced rather than distressed market conditions. The neighbourhood pace runs faster than Andrews Trail itself, with comparable townhouses typically clearing in around 89 days against the street's own 103-day average.

Andrews Trail sits in the Clarke neighbourhood, a position that puts Highway 401 at James Snow Parkway just three minutes from the on-ramp. The drive to Mississauga runs around 22 minutes; Pearson comes in at 32. The Milton GO Station is a 14-minute drive, which makes the Toronto commute a two-stage affair: drive to the station, then the train to Union. For those working in Burlington or Oakville, the 401 delivers both in under 25 minutes. The street itself is quiet, with no through-traffic, so the road network handles the load without the noise of a busier corridor.

Public elementary catchment draws to Irma Coulson PS and Tiger Jeet Singh PS, both a five-minute drive from Andrews Trail; Robert Baldwin PS is also within six minutes. Catholic elementary students attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic ES, also five minutes away, or Guardian Angels Catholic ES at six minutes. Secondary students in the public board go to Milton District High School, a five-minute drive, while Catholic secondary draws to Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic SS at four minutes or St. Francis Xavier Catholic SS at seven. The cluster of schools within a short radius makes this a practical pocket for families.

Andrews Trail tends to suit families and first-time buyers who want a newer home in a quiet pocket without paying detached prices. The stock is entirely semis and townhouses, which keeps entry costs lower than the surrounding detached-heavy streets. Buyers here accept a longer GO commute in exchange for quick highway access and a neighbourhood that feels removed from the busier corridors. The rental activity shows a mix of one-bedroom units and larger family-sized rentals, suggesting both young professionals and families rent here. For those who value walkability to parks, Milton Community Park is a ten-minute walk, though most amenities require a drive.

If a larger lot or a detached home is the priority, Wellwood Terrace trades around $1.7M and offers a different price point and property type. For those who want a similar mixed stock but in a slightly different pocket, Apple Terrace trades around $1.6M. Both are within the same Clarke neighbourhood, so the school catchment and commute profile remain similar. The tradeoff is price and property type: Andrews Trail offers more affordable semis and townhouses, while these alternatives deliver detached homes at a higher entry point.
