Etheridge Avenue runs through the Ford and Cobban neighbourhoods in north Milton.
Etheridge Avenue runs through the Ford and Cobban neighbourhoods in north Milton. It is a residential street lined with homes built in the early 2000s, part of the area's steady expansion during that period. The street sits east of Regional Road 25 and south of Derry Road, placing it within a grid of family-oriented subdivisions. Sidewalks and street trees are standard here. The street's character is quiet and suburban, with a mix of detached houses and townhomes set back from the road. Ford District Park anchors the southern end, giving the street a natural focal point.
The housing stock on Etheridge Avenue consists primarily of detached homes, with a few semi-detached and townhouse units interspersed. Most homes were built in the early 2000s, a period when this part of Milton saw significant development. Lots are generous for a suburban street, typically ranging from 35 to 45 feet wide. The detached homes offer three to four bedrooms and two-car garages. Townhomes on the street are end units with private driveways, a layout that appeals to families seeking ground-level access without a full detached footprint.
Exterior treatments lean toward brick and stone facades, with some homes featuring vinyl siding on upper storeys. Roof lines are varied, with both gable and hip configurations present. Floor plans tend toward open-concept main levels with family rooms off the kitchen, a standard for the era. Many homes have been updated with hardwood flooring and renovated kitchens. The street shows consistent upkeep; landscaping is well maintained across most properties. A few homes have basement apartments, a common adaptation in this part of Milton.
Ford District Park sits at the southern edge of Etheridge Avenue, within walking distance of every home on the street. The park offers a playground, sports fields, and walking paths. For groceries, Sobeys Milton is an eight-minute drive west on Derry Road. Walmart and FreshCo are also within a ten-minute drive. Milton District Hospital is eight minutes south by car, providing emergency and urgent care.
Several schools serve the area. Craig Kielburger Secondary School is a four-minute drive, while St. Scholastica Catholic Elementary School is similarly close. The Milton GO Station is ten minutes away by car, with trains to Toronto Union Station. Highway 401 access at Regional Road 25 is nine minutes from the street, making commutes to Mississauga and beyond straightforward. Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area and Kelso Conservation Area are each about six minutes away, offering hiking and outdoor recreation.
Etheridge Avenue sits in the Ford neighbourhood, a corridor where detached homes dominate and trade activity is steady but not heavy. Over the past year, the street recorded 11 total transactions split between 5 sales and 6 leases, with 3 active listings currently on market. The typical sale price has moved through several inflection points: from around $1.34M in Q3 2024, the typical eased to approximately $1.27M in Q1 2025, then softened further to near $1.15M in Q2 2025, before firming to approximately $1.26M in Q3 2026. This non-linear arc reflects a market that has been uneven across quarters, with no clean directional read. Days on market average around 98, suggesting a measured pace where buyers take time to assess value.
Condition and micro-location play a meaningful role in price differentiation on Etheridge. Detached homes, which make up the bulk of sales, span a range of eras and lot sizes; the few townhouse and semi-detached units trade at different levels, though sample sizes are too thin to publish precise bands. On the lease side, activity is robust: four-bedroom units typically rent around $3,763 per month, with recent comps including a four-bedroom semi renting at $3,700 in July 2026 and a four-bedroom detached at $3,850 in May 2026. A five-bedroom detached leased at $4,200 in October 2025. Against typical sale prices near $1.18M, gross yields on four-bedroom units land in the 3.8% to 4.0% range, a reasonable return for a family-oriented street. The three active listings indicate supply is moderate, not tight, giving buyers some negotiating room.
Across the 1032 - FO Ford neighbourhood, comparable detached homes have sold at broadly comparable levels. The typical sold price sits around $1.26M, based on a large sample of 172 sales over the past year. Year-over-year, prices have held essentially steady, easing by less than 1% a mild drift rather than a correction. Sold-to-ask ratios near 0.98 indicate that buyers are paying close to asking price, with modest room for negotiation. Days on market average around 94, a pace that mirrors the street's own 98-day average, suggesting that the wider neighbourhood moves at a similar tempo to Etheridge itself.
Etheridge Avenue sits in the Ford neighbourhood, a position that makes the 401 the primary commute artery. The on-ramp at Regional Road 25 is a nine-minute drive, putting Mississauga within 22 minutes and Pearson within 32. For Toronto, the Milton GO station is ten minutes away; the full trip to Union runs about 70 minutes. The street itself is residential and quiet, with through-traffic limited to local access. The road network handles the load without the congestion that defines busier corridors in Milton.
Public elementary students on Etheridge draw to Sam Sherratt Public School, a seven-minute drive; Catholic students attend St. Scholastica Catholic Elementary, four minutes from the street. For secondary, public catchment falls to Craig Kielburger Secondary School, four minutes away, while Catholic students route to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School, seven minutes. The mix of nearby elementary and secondary options covers families from early years through high school without long drives.
Etheridge Avenue suits families who want a quiet residential setting with good school access and reasonable commutes. The stock is primarily detached homes, many built in the early 2000s, offering four bedrooms and space for growing households. Buyers here accept a drive to most amenities — groceries, the hospital, and the GO station are all eight to ten minutes away — in exchange for a quieter street and proximity to parks like Ford District Park, which is walkable. The rental segment is dominated by unfurnished four-bedroom units on 12-month leases, suggesting long-term tenants rather than transient demand. This is a street for those who prioritize space and calm over walkability.
If walkability to transit or downtown Milton's core matters more, Martin Street offers a different pattern with mixed trading around $310,000, reflecting a more compact and accessible setting. For those seeking condo living with lower entry points, Millside Drive sees condo trading around $525,000, a tighter footprint than Etheridge's detached homes. Both alternatives trade at significantly lower price points, reflecting different housing forms and locations. Etheridge's strength is space and quiet; if that isn't the priority, these nearby streets offer distinct tradeoffs.
