Costigan Road

Costigan Road runs north-south through Milton's Clarke and Dempsey neighbourhoods, connecting Derry Road to Main Street East. It is a residential corridor with a mix of low-rise condos, townhouses, and a handful of detached homes. The street sits within a mature part of town, minutes from Highway 401 and the Milton GO station. Schools, grocery stores, and parks are within a short drive. Costigan Road has a practical, lived-in feel, shaped by families and long-term renters.

Costigan Road's housing stock is dominated by condominium apartments and townhouses, with a small number of detached homes. Condos account for the largest share, typically one- and two-bedroom units in low-rise buildings. Townhouses are mostly two- and three-bedroom layouts, often with attached garages. Detached homes are rare and sit on standard lots. The street was built up in phases through the 2000s and 2010s, with no single builder dominating the mix.

Exterior treatments vary by building. The condo buildings use brick and siding, while townhouses often feature brick fronts with stone accents. Unit sizes range from around 500 square feet for one-bedroom condos to over 1,500 square feet for larger townhouses. Many units have balconies or patios. The overall condition is good, with regular turnover keeping interiors updated. Parking is mostly surface lots for condos and private driveways for townhouses.

Costigan Road is well served by daily amenities. Grocery shopping is a five-minute drive to Canadian Superstore or Walmart Milton. FreshCo and Sobeys are also close. Milton District Hospital is six minutes by car. Several parks are within a ten-minute drive, including Centennial Park, Rotary Park, and Coates Park. Milton Community Park is walkable at ten minutes.

Schools are nearby: Irma Coulson Public School, Tiger Jeet Singh Public School, and Milton District High School are all within a five-minute drive. Catholic options include Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary School. The Milton Muslim Community Centre is six minutes away. Highway 401 access at James Snow Parkway is three minutes from the street, making commutes to Mississauga, Oakville, and Burlington straightforward.

Costigan Road trades across a wide spectrum, from condos in the mid-$550s to detached homes approaching $1.2M. The typical price across all property types sits around $700,000, but composition matters considerably: condos cluster in the $430,000 to $675,000 range with a median near $550,000, while townhouses average around $700,000. A three-bedroom condo rented around $3,000 per month in July 2026, and a two-bedroom townhouse with three bathrooms rented at $2,800 the same month, illustrating the rental demand anchoring the street's lower-price segments. Days on market average around 74, suggesting moderate buyer interest without acute urgency; eight active listings currently represent a balanced inventory for a street of this trade volume.

Quarterly data reveals variable price movement over the past two years. The typical sale price held near $650,000 through Q2 and Q3 of 2025, then firmed to $675,000 by Q3 2025 before softening slightly to $675,000 in Q4 2025. Q1 2026 pushed higher again to approximately $675,000. The range has remained broad and stable, anchored by condo activity at the lower end and occasional detached trades at the upper boundary. Lease activity spans $1,900 to $3,600 per month across the recent window, with one-bedroom units clustering around $1,950, two-bedrooms near $2,600, and three-bedrooms around $3,200. At the typical sale price of $700,000 and median rent near $2,600 for two-bedrooms, gross rental yield approximates 4.4 percent, positioning the street as a mixed owner-occupied and investor destination where both segments trade actively.

Costigan Road sits in Milton's Clarke neighbourhood, a position that puts the 401 on-ramp at James Snow Parkway just three minutes away. That makes Mississauga a 22-minute drive and Pearson roughly half an hour. The Milton GO station is a 14-minute drive, which pushes the Toronto commute past the hour mark for most riders. For daily errands, the grocery cluster along Main Street is a five-minute drive. The street itself is a through route, so traffic noise is present but manageable; the real advantage is how quickly the highway network absorbs you.

Public elementary students on Costigan Road draw to either Irma Coulson PS or Tiger Jeet Singh PS, both a five-minute drive. Robert Baldwin PS is a similar distance. Secondary catchment falls to Milton District High School, also five minutes away. Catholic families have Our Lady of Fatima Catholic ES at five minutes and Guardian Angels Catholic ES at six; secondary students attend Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic SS within four minutes or St. Francis Xavier Catholic SS within seven. The concentration of schools within a short radius makes this stretch practical for families with children at multiple stages.

Costigan Road tends to suit buyers who want a mix of housing types within reach of the 401. The stock is predominantly condos and townhouses, with a few detached homes, so it appeals to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. The rental market is active and anchored by long-term tenants: nearly all recent leases are unfurnished with 12-month terms, signalling a stable tenant base. Buyers here accept a longer drive to the GO station in exchange for quick highway access and a broad selection of entry-level and mid-range properties. Families will find multiple school options within a five-minute drive, though the street itself is more about convenience than quiet.

If a detached home on a larger lot is the priority, Apple Terrace and Wettlaufer Terrace offer detached properties trading around $1.6M and $1.55M respectively, both in similar pockets of Milton. Those streets skew toward families who want more space and are willing to pay a premium for it. For buyers who prefer a quieter, more established feel with mature trees, streets in the Dempsey neighbourhood may be worth exploring, though the housing stock there tends to be older and less uniform. If proximity to the GO station matters most, streets closer to Milton's core would shorten that 14-minute drive considerably.
