Farlow Crescent

Farlow Crescent at a glance

Farlow Crescent is a quiet, residential loop in Milton's Clarke neighbourhood. It sits south of Derry Road, a short drive from the 401 at James Snow Parkway. The street is framed by mature trees and well-kept lawns, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. Centennial Park and Rotary Park lie within a few minutes by car. Milton District Hospital is six minutes away. The crescent feels settled and family-oriented, with schools and grocery stores close at hand.

Housing stock on Farlow

Farlow Crescent holds a small collection of detached and semi-detached homes, built in the early 2000s. The detached units sit on generous lots, typically with two-car garages and brick-and-stone facades. Semi-detached homes share a similar architectural language, with attached garages and private driveways. Lot depths are consistent, and the street maintains a uniform setback.

The homes here are owner-occupied for the most part, with careful curb appeal. Exteriors show brick in warm earth tones, accented by stone or vinyl. Floor plans tend toward four bedrooms above grade, with main-floor family rooms and finished basements in many cases. The street's low turnover and small size give it a stable, private character. Across the Clarke neighbourhood, detached homes typically trade around $1,090,000.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from Farlow Crescent. Canadian Superstore and Walmart are four and five minutes away by car, respectively. FreshCo and Sobeys are within six minutes. Milton District Hospital is six minutes south. Several parks, including Centennial Park and Rotary Park, are a short drive and offer sports fields, playgrounds, and walking trails.

Schools are within walking distance for older children: Irma Coulson Public School and Tiger Jeet Singh Public School are each about five minutes on foot. Milton District High School is a five-minute walk. For Catholic families, Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School is four minutes by car. The Milton GO Station is a 14-minute drive, and the 401 on-ramp at James Snow Parkway is three minutes away, making commutes to Mississauga or Toronto manageable.

The market right now

Farlow Crescent is a thin-trading street where recorded transactions remain sparse. Detached and semi-detached homes dominate the street's inventory, and activity has been intermittent over the measurement window. The street trades rarely, with only a handful of recorded transactions recorded over the past year, making broad-based pricing analysis difficult. Days on market for recent activity average around 123, suggesting that when homes do list, they spend a considerable period available before moving. Current active inventory stands at a single listing, consistent with the modest transaction flow the street has shown historically. Rental activity on the street indicates a mix of three- and four-bedroom households; three-bedroom units have rented in the area of $2,900 per month, while four-bedroom properties have moved closer to $3,400 monthly. The buyer profile here tends toward families seeking quieter residential positioning within Clarke; limited resale activity suggests that units, when they change hands, appeal to a specific demographic rather than drawing broad market interest. The street's residential character and proximity to elementary schools within walking distance (both Irma Coulson and Tiger Jeet Singh within five minutes) anchor its appeal to parent-focused households. Highway 401 access via James Snow Parkway sits only three kilometres away, making commute efficiency available despite the street's quiet positioning. As new activity emerges, suitability factors specific to family life and neighbourhood anchors prove more decisive than price-to-price comparison with higher-turnover alternatives.

Comparable homes nearby

Across the Clarke neighbourhood, comparable detached homes have sold at typically around $1.1M, drawing from a substantial sample of 178 recent sales. Year-over-year, values have softened modestly, with prices moving down approximately 6.5 percent from the prior twelve-month window. Homes in this neighbourhood have performed near asking price; sold-to-ask ratios sit near 99 percent of list price, indicating a balanced market where buyer and seller expectations align closely. Pace across comparable Clarke detached homes runs somewhat faster than Farlow's own activity, with neighbourhood-wide days on market averaging around 83 days. This differential suggests that while Farlow trades infrequently, neighbourhood-level absorption for detached homes occurs at a steadier tempo, likely reflecting both the broader appeal of comparable properties and their higher density of listing activity within Clarke.

Getting around

Farlow Crescent sits in the Clarke neighbourhood, a position that makes the 401 the dominant commute handle. The on-ramp at James Snow Parkway is a three-minute drive, putting Mississauga within 22 minutes and Pearson within 32. Toronto by GO is a longer proposition — the Milton GO station is 14 minutes away, and the full train-to-Union run totals about 74 minutes. For those working in Burlington or Oakville, the drive runs 20 to 24 minutes respectively. The street itself is quiet, a crescent that sees little through traffic, so the road network handles the load without the noise of a busier corridor.

Schools and catchment

Public elementary catchment draws to Irma Coulson PS and Tiger Jeet Singh PS, both a five-minute drive from Farlow. Robert Baldwin PS is a minute further. Secondary students attend Milton District High School, also five minutes away. On the Catholic side, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic ES is a five-minute drive, with Guardian Angels Catholic ES a minute further; secondary catchment falls to Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic SS at four minutes or St. Francis Xavier Catholic SS at seven. The density of schools within a short radius makes this a practical stretch for families routing multiple children to different boards.

Who this street suits

Farlow Crescent tends to suit families who want a detached or semi-detached home in a quiet crescent setting, with the 401 close enough for a daily commute to Mississauga or Pearson. The stock is limited — recent activity is thin — so buyers here are typically those who value the low-traffic layout and the proximity to grocery and parks over a wide choice of homes. The rental side sees three- and four-bedroom units, unfurnished, suggesting long-term anchored tenants rather than transient demand. A buyer on Farlow accepts a tighter inventory in exchange for a street that feels removed from the main arteries while still being minutes from them.

If different priorities matter more

If a wider selection of detached homes is the priority, Wettlaufer Terrace trades around $1.8M and offers a different price tier with more consistent detached inventory. For buyers seeking a lower entry point or a more mixed stock, Martin Street trades around $310K and draws a different buyer profile entirely. Both are within the same Clarke neighbourhood, so the amenity set and school catchment overlap considerably. The choice between them is largely about budget and the type of home — Farlow sits between these two poles in character if not in price.
