Costigan Road

Costigan Road runs through the Clarke and Dempsey neighbourhoods in north Milton. It is a residential artery that connects the quiet of suburban life with the convenience of nearby retail and transit. The street is lined with a mix of townhomes, condos, and a handful of detached houses. Mature trees and well-kept lawns give Costigan a settled feel, even as new developments continue to fill in the surrounding blocks. The street sits within walking distance of several schools and parks, and the Highway 401 on-ramp at James Snow Parkway is just three minutes by car. Costigan is a street that serves families and professionals alike.

Costigan Road offers a varied housing stock dominated by condos and townhomes, with a small number of detached houses. Condos account for the largest share, typically trading in the low- to mid-$500s. Townhomes are also common, with prices settling in the high-$600s to low-$700s. Detached homes are rare on the street itself, though nearby cross streets like Wellwood Terrace and Apple Terrace feature larger detached properties trading around $1.6M to $1.7M. The housing here is primarily from the early 2000s, with brick and stone facades and attached garages. Lots are compact, reflecting the suburban infill character of the area.

The townhomes on Costigan are mostly two-storey, three-bedroom units with finished basements. Many have private driveways and small rear yards. The condos are concentrated in low-rise buildings, offering one- and two-bedroom layouts with balconies. Interior finishes are functional rather than luxurious, with laminate flooring and standard kitchens. Some units have been updated with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances. The detached homes, though few, sit on larger lots and offer more square footage. Overall, the street caters to first-time buyers and investors, with a rental market that sees steady activity.

Costigan Road is well served by daily amenities. A Canadian Superstore is a four-minute drive, and Walmart, FreshCo, and Sobeys are all within six minutes. Milton District Hospital is six minutes away by car, providing peace of mind for families. Several parks are within a short drive, including Centennial Park and Rotary Park, each about six minutes away. Milton Community Park is a ten-minute walk, offering playgrounds and sports fields. For commuters, Highway 401 is three minutes from the street, and the Milton GO Station is a 14-minute drive, with trains to Toronto taking about 74 minutes total.

Schools are a strong draw. Irma Coulson Public School and Tiger Jeet Singh Public School are both five minutes away on foot. Milton District High School is also within walking distance. Catholic options include Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary School, both a short drive. The Milton Muslim Community Centre is six minutes away. For recreation, the Velodrome Park and the Milton Sports Centre are nearby. The street's location puts most daily needs within a five- to ten-minute radius, making it a practical choice for families.

Costigan Road trades across a broad price band, from the mid-$400s to just over $1.2M, with a typical sale settling around $700,000. Condos cluster in the mid-$500s, while townhouses average closer to the mid-$700s. A two-bedroom, two-bath condo rented around $2,700 per month in mid-2026, and a three-bedroom condo leased around $3,000 per month in the same quarter. One-bedroom units on the street have rented as low as $1,900 to $1,900, while larger townhouse units have commanded $2,800 to $3,200. Across all unit sizes, rentals span $1,900 to $3,600 per month, with the typical two-bedroom anchoring the mid-rental market.

The quarterly trend shows uneven movement rather than a clean directional arc. From Q3 2024 through Q4 2024, prices held relatively flat near $650,000. Q1 2026 firmed notably to around $675,000, before moderating back to $650,000 in Q2 2026, then climbing again to $675,000 in Q4 2025 and $675,000 in Q3 2025. The overall range has remained stable across the window. Days on market average around 74, suggesting moderate pace for an area mixing rental-heavy and owner-occupied inventory. Eight active listings sit on the street currently. Rental activity significantly outweighs sales, with 41 leases against 21 sales over the period, indicating a rental-dominant market composition. For sale-purchase comparisons, the lease-to-sale ratio and the spread between mid-$500s condo prices and mid-$700s townhouse prices reflects a bifurcated street where property type is the primary price determinant.

Across the broader Clarke neighbourhood, comparable condo homes have tracked closely to Costigan's own rhythm, with a typical sale around $675,000, only slightly below the street's mid-$700s overall median. The neighbourhood sample encompasses sufficient depth to establish pattern confidence. Over the past year, condo prices in the immediate area have eased back approximately 4.9 percent, a modest softening that reflects broader regional pressure rather than street-specific weakness. Homes are typically listing near asking value, with the sold-to-ask ratio holding just under 0.99, indicating minimal negotiation room and balanced buyer-seller conditions. Neighbourhood-wide days on market run around 89 days, slightly longer than Costigan's own 74-day pace, suggesting the street clears somewhat faster than comparable inventory in the surrounding area.

Costigan Road sits in Milton's Clarke neighbourhood, a position that puts the 401 on-ramp at James Snow Parkway three minutes from the street. That ramp is the daily handle for Mississauga, a 22-minute drive, and Pearson, roughly 30 minutes. The Milton GO station is a 14-minute drive, making the Toronto commute a longer proposition — expect around 75 minutes door-to-door via GO and TTC. For those working in Oakville or Burlington, the drive runs 20 to 25 minutes. The street itself is quiet, with through-traffic limited to residents, so the road network handles the load without the noise of a busier corridor.

Public elementary catchment draws to Irma Coulson Public School and Tiger Jeet Singh Public School, both a five-minute drive from Costigan. Catholic elementary students attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary, also five minutes away. For secondary, public students attend Milton District High School, a five-minute drive, while Catholic students draw to Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School, four minutes by car. The proximity to multiple elementary options within a short drive gives families flexibility depending on program fit.

Costigan Road tends to suit buyers who want a mix of housing types — condos, townhouses, and a few detached homes — in a central Milton location with quick highway access. The street's rental activity is strong, with mostly unfurnished units on 12-month leases, suggesting a stable tenant base of long-term renters. Buyers here accept a tradeoff: the street itself is quiet, but the GO station is a 14-minute drive, making the Toronto commute longer than in some Milton pockets. It works well for households that prioritize proximity to the 401 and local amenities over a walkable transit connection. The mix of condo and townhouse stock also suits investors looking for consistent rental demand.

If a shorter Toronto commute is the priority, Wellwood Terrace offers detached homes trading around $1.7M, closer to the GO station. For buyers seeking a similar mixed stock but with a different price point, Apple Terrace has condos and townhouses trading around $1.6M. If larger lots or a more established feel matter, look to streets in the Dempsey neighbourhood, where homes tend to sit on bigger parcels. Each alternative shifts the balance of commute convenience, housing type, and price.
