By David Cinelli — Local Expert Realtor & Long-Time Stonegate-Queensway Resident


If you’ve been thinking about buying in Stonegate-Queensway, there’s something you need to hear clearly:

👉 Opportunity has returned to one of Toronto’s most established and desirable west-end neighbourhoods.

As someone who has lived and worked in this community for decades, I’ve watched the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Stonegate-Queensway has seen peak pricing, intense bidding wars, tight inventory — and now?

For the first time in years, the market has shifted in favour of buyers.

Let’s break down the numbers, the neighbourhood, and why timing matters.


Prices Are Down Significantly From the Peak

At the height of the Toronto market, the average sale price across all home types in Stonegate-Queensway reached $2.051M.

Today, the average sits much lower at $1.179M.

That’s a price drop of nearly $900,000 — something most buyers never expected to see again in this decade.


Detached Homes Show the Biggest Opportunity

Detached homes are the foundation of Stonegate-Queensway — they represent the majority of home types and demand.

  • Peak detached average (10+ sales): $2,232,750 (June 2022)

  • Today: Significantly lower and far more attainable

There isn’t enough current data across semis, townhomes, or condos (all under 10 recent sales), but detached homes alone paint a clear picture:

➡️ For buyers who were priced out in 2021–2022, the door has opened again.


Why Stonegate-Queensway Still Outperforms Long-Term

Even though prices are down, the fundamentals — the things that make this neighbourhood desirable and resilient — haven’t changed.

Here’s why this area continues to hold long-term value:


1️⃣ Top-Tier School Catchments

Many families move here specifically for education options — and stay long-term.

That stability helps support property values.


2️⃣ Transit + Highway Convenience

Minutes to:

  • Gardiner Expressway

  • QEW

  • TTC routes

  • GO stations

Whether you’re commuting downtown or across the GTA, this location is ideal.


3️⃣ Established Streets & Community Feel

Wide lots, mature trees, neighbourly culture — this neighbourhood still feels like a community, not a subdivision.

That’s becoming rare in Toronto.


4️⃣ Close to the Best of South Etobicoke

You’re just minutes from:

  • The Queensway strip

  • Sherway Gardens

  • Humber River trails

  • Sunnylea & Kingsway shops

  • Waterfront parks & recreation

It’s no surprise many people who move here stay for decades.


So Why Buy Now?

Right now, buyers benefit from:

✔ Lower prices
✔ More inventory
✔ Less competition
✔ More negotiating power
✔ Long-term value fundamentals intact

This combination doesn’t come around often in W07.

Historically, when the market turns upward — Stonegate-Queensway rebounds fast.


Final Thought

As someone who both sells real estate here and calls Stonegate-Queensway home, I can confidently say:

👉 This neighbourhood rewards long-term buyers — and right now, the opportunity to get in is better than it has been in years.
