Ferguson Drive

Ferguson Drive runs north-south through Milton's Bowes and Beaty neighbourhoods, a residential corridor that connects Derry Road to the 401 corridor. The street is lined with mature trees and sidewalks, giving it a settled feel despite the area's ongoing growth. It sits within walking distance of several parks and schools, and the Milton District Hospital is a five-minute drive away. Ferguson is a street of transitions: newer infill homes sit alongside older builds, and the mix of housing types reflects the area's evolution from farmland to suburb.

Ferguson Drive offers a mix of detached, semi-detached, and townhouse homes, with townhouses making up the largest share. Most homes were built in the early 2000s, with some newer infill construction. Detached homes typically sit on standard 40-foot lots, while townhouses are arranged in clusters with private driveways. The architectural style is predominantly traditional with brick and vinyl siding, though some homes feature stone accents. Interior layouts are practical: three-bedroom townhouses around 1,500 square feet and four-bedroom detached homes up to 2,500 square feet.

The street's housing stock shows variety in condition and finish. Some homes have been updated with modern kitchens and hardwood floors, while others retain original builder-grade finishes. Townhouses in the mid-range trade in the high-$700s to low-$800s, while detached homes can reach the mid-$900s. The street attracts a mix of families and professionals, drawn by the proximity to schools and the 401. Rental activity is steady, with three-bedroom townhouses leasing around $3,200 per month.

Ferguson Drive is within a short drive of several grocery options, including Walmart, FreshCo, and Sobeys, all about four to five minutes away. The Milton District Hospital is five minutes by car, and Highway 401 is accessible in four minutes via Regional Road 25. For outdoor recreation, Coates Park is a five-minute drive, and Kelso Conservation Area is nine minutes away. The Milton GO Station is a 16-minute drive, making downtown Toronto reachable in just over an hour.

Several public elementary schools are within walking distance, including Irma Coulson PS at one minute and Robert Baldwin PS at five minutes. Catholic options include Our Lady of Fatima Catholic ES and St. Francis Xavier Catholic SS, both six minutes away. The Milton Muslim Community Centre is four minutes from the street. Daily errands are straightforward: the nearby plazas along Derry Road cover most needs, from pharmacies to fast food.

Ferguson Drive trades across detached, semi, and townhouse units with a typical price near $950,000. The eight sales recorded across the available window span from Q3 2024 through Q3 2026, with prices moving unevenly through that span. In Q3 2024, the typical price settled around $1M across six trades. By Q4 2024, prices firmed modestly to the mid-$1.04Ms. The trend reversed in Q3 2025, when prices softened to around $700,000 on a reduced sample. By Q3 2026, prices recovered to approximately $1.1M, suggesting underlying demand despite the two-year volatility.

Days on market average around 89 days, a pace that reflects measured buyer activity relative to available inventory. Only one listing currently shows active on the street, indicating tight supply. The lease activity presents a meaningful secondary market: 16 rentals against the eight sales, with two-bedroom units leasing around $2,400 per month, three-bedroom units near $3,200, and larger units moving into the $3,300 to $4,750 range. A three-bedroom townhouse rented around $3,300 in May 2026, while a four-bedroom townhouse leased at $3,200 in the same month. This lease-to-sale mix, combined with sale prices anchored near $1M, implies gross rental yields in the 3.2 to 3.8 percent range for multi-bedroom stock, a pattern consistent with investor positioning on the street.

Across the Beaty neighbourhood, comparable townhouse homes have traded at a typical price near $800,000 over the recent twelve-month window, a position modestly lower than Ferguson's own price floor. The neighbourhood sample spans 192 sales, providing reliable read on the broader market. Year-over-year, Beaty townhouses softened approximately 4.7 percent, indicating a modest easing from prior-year levels. Sold-to-ask ratios in the neighbourhood run just above 1.01, meaning buyers are paying marginally above list price on typical transactions, a signal of balanced rather than pressured conditions. Pace in the neighbourhood runs nearly level with Ferguson's own days on market, both settling in the 83- to 89-day range, suggesting comparable velocity across the two contexts.

Ferguson Drive sits in the Bowes and Beaty neighbourhoods, a position that makes the 401 the primary commute artery. The on-ramp at Regional Road 25 is a four-minute drive, putting Mississauga within 22 minutes and Pearson within 32. Toronto's downtown is a longer proposition: a 16-minute drive to the Milton GO station plus the train ride, totalling just over an hour. For those working in Oakville or Burlington, the drive runs around 20 to 24 minutes. The street itself is a through-route, so traffic noise is present but not dominant; the highway access is the real draw.

Public elementary catchment draws to Irma Coulson Public School, a one-minute drive from Ferguson Drive, making it one of the most walkable options in the area. Robert Baldwin and Sam Sherratt are each five minutes away. Catholic elementary students attend Our Lady of Fatima, a six-minute drive, or St. Scholastica at nine minutes. For secondary, public students draw to Craig Kielburger Secondary School; Catholic students attend St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary, also a six-minute drive. The proximity to multiple elementary schools gives families options depending on program fit.

Ferguson Drive tends to suit families and renters who value highway access over walkability. The stock is a mix of townhouses and detached homes, with recent leases showing a strong preference for unfurnished, long-term tenancies; the rental market here moves quickly, with most units leasing within a month or two. Buyers here accept that the GO station is a 16-minute drive, not a walk, in exchange for quick access to the 401 and a quieter residential setting. The street's position near parks and grocery stores within five minutes makes daily errands straightforward. Investors may find the steady rental demand appealing, given the consistent lease velocity.

If walkability to the GO station matters more, Wellwood Terrace trades detached homes around $1.7M, reflecting a premium for that proximity. For buyers seeking a lower price point, Martin Street offers a mixed stock trading around $310K, though the character and lot sizes differ considerably. Ferguson Drive sits between these poles: not the most convenient for transit, not the cheapest entry, but a balanced middle ground for those who prioritize highway access and a family-oriented neighbourhood.
