Maple Avenue

Maple Avenue at a glance

Maple Avenue runs through the Dempsey and Dorset Park neighbourhoods in north Milton. It is a residential corridor with a mix of low-rise condominiums and older detached homes. The street sits east of Ontario Street and west of Thompson Road, with easy access to Highway 401 via Regional Road 25. Maple is a straight, tree-lined avenue that carries a steady but unhurried flow of local traffic. It is not a through route for commuters, which keeps the street quieter than the main arteries. The surrounding area is primarily residential, with schools, parks, and grocery stores within a short drive.

Housing stock on Maple

Maple Avenue's housing stock is dominated by condominium apartments, with a handful of detached houses near the southern end. The condos are concentrated in low-rise buildings, typically three to four storeys, built in the early 2000s. Units range from one to three bedrooms, with floor plans that emphasize efficient use of space. Square footage generally falls between 600 and 1,400 square feet. The detached homes are older, likely constructed in the 1970s or 1980s, sitting on standard suburban lots. They are set back from the road with driveways and modest front yards.

The condominium buildings along Maple share a consistent architectural language: brick exteriors, pitched roofs, and balconies for upper units. Interior finishes vary by building, with some units featuring updated kitchens and laminate flooring while others retain original fixtures. The detached homes offer more variety in style, from split-level to two-storey designs. Condition across the street is generally well-maintained, with several buildings having undergone recent exterior upgrades. The mix of ownership and rental units gives the street a diverse demographic feel.

The Kelso Conservation Area, a popular spot for hiking and outdoor recreation, is ten minutes by car.

Public schools are close at hand. Chris Hadfield Public School is adjacent to the street, and Robert Baldwin Public School is a four-minute walk. Catholic elementary options include Guardian Angels and Our Lady of Fatima, both within five minutes. The Milton GO Station is a ten-minute drive, providing a 70-minute commute to downtown Toronto.

The market right now

Maple Avenue trades across a wide spectrum, reflecting a mixed condo-and-detached base that carries distinct price tiers. The overall typical price sits around $650,000, though the range spans from approximately $400,000 to just under $1.15M. Condos dominate activity on the street, accounting for nine of eleven recent sales and clustering around $555,000; the two detached transactions that closed were substantially higher, anchoring the upper end. Days on market average around 95, suggesting a measured pace where neither buyers nor sellers face acute pressure. Six active listings currently on the street indicate measured supply relative to the sales cadence.

Quarterly trading patterns over the past eighteen months reveal non-linear movement. The typical price eased from approximately $660,000 in Q4 2024 to $650,000 in Q1 2025, then firmed substantially to around $766,000 in Q3 2025. The trajectory reversed thereafter, softening from $766,000 in Q3 2025 to approximately $591,000 in Q4 2025, then declining further to around $405,000 in Q2 2026 before a sharp recovery to approximately $810,000 in Q3 2026. This volatile quarter-to-quarter pattern suggests that individual transactions, particularly in quarters with smaller counts, exert outsized influence on the typical; consolidation into larger sample windows would likely reveal a steadier trend. Lease activity across the street spans $2,100 to $3,050 per month, with two-bedroom units renting typically around $2,400 against comparable sale prices clustering in the $550,000 range, implying gross yields approaching 5.2 percent. A two-bedroom condo rented around $2,350 in April 2026, while a three-bedroom unit leased near $3,050 in January 2026, anchoring the upper spectrum of rental demand.

Comparable homes nearby

Across the Dempsey neighbourhood, comparable condo homes have sold around $510,000 over the recent twelve-month window, representing a modest softening of approximately 4.5 percent year-over-year. The neighbourhood sample spans 151 transactions, providing substantial market visibility. Comparable condos on the neighbourhood move to sale at a slightly faster pace than Maple Avenue itself, clearing in around 74 days versus the street's 95-day average, indicating somewhat tighter supply or steadier buyer interest at the neighbourhood scale. Neighbourhood-wide, the sold-to-ask ratio hovers near 0.987, signalling that buyers typically negotiate modest concessions or pay close to listing price, reflecting a balanced buyer-seller dynamic across the wider area.

Getting around

Maple Avenue sits in central Milton, a position that makes the 401 ramp at Regional Road 25 a four-minute drive. For Toronto commuters, the Milton GO station is ten minutes away; the total trip to Union runs around 70 minutes. Mississauga is a 22-minute drive, Oakville 24 minutes, and Pearson 32 minutes. The street itself is a quiet residential avenue, so the road network handles the load without through-traffic noise. For those working in Burlington, the drive is about 20 minutes. The highway access is the daily handle for most residents.

Schools and catchment

Public elementary catchment draws to Chris Hadfield Public School, which is walkable from Maple Avenue itself. Robert Baldwin Public School is a four-minute drive, and Anne J. MacArthur Public School is five minutes. Catholic elementary students attend Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary School, a four-minute drive, or Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary School at five minutes. For secondary, Catholic students draw to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School, a six-minute drive. The proximity to multiple elementary schools gives families options depending on program fit.

Who this street suits

Maple Avenue tends to suit first-time buyers and young professionals, given the condo-heavy stock and prices that trade in the mid-$500s to low-$900s. The rental market is dominated by unfurnished units, signalling long-term anchored tenants rather than transient demand; leases typically move within a few weeks to a month. For those who want walkable access to multiple elementary schools and a short drive to the 401, this street delivers. The tradeoff is that detached homes are rare here, so families seeking a house with a yard will find limited inventory. Buyers who value proximity to grocery stores and the hospital will appreciate the five-minute drive to Milton District Hospital and several supermarkets.

If different priorities matter more

If you're considering alternatives in similar pockets, Wettlaufer Terrace offers detached homes trading around $1.8M, a different price tier for those who want a house rather than a condo. Apple Terrace has mixed inventory around $1.6M, suiting buyers who want more space but still in a comparable area. Both streets sit in the same neighbourhood context but shift the balance toward larger lots and family-oriented stock. For those who prioritize a lower entry price, Maple Avenue itself remains the more accessible option.
