The 15 Safest Neighbourhoods in Toronto Right Now

Toronto's lowest crime rate at 98 incidents — 44% below the city average of 176. The trade-off: a $2.8M median home price and limited transit (car-dependent).

105 incidents, 40% below average. Excellent schools (7.8/10) and tree canopy above 35%. One of the few neighbourhoods where safety AND schools both rank top-tier.

Old Toronto's most prestigious address delivers on safety too. 109 incidents, strong transit access (subway), and the Don Valley ravine acts as a natural buffer.

113 incidents in a family-heavy neighbourhood. Average household size of 2.8 signals established families, not transient renters. Schools rate 7.5/10.

119 incidents. Higher KSI (11) than the top 4, reflecting busier arterial roads. But shootings are the lowest in the top 10 at just 8.

The most 'accessible' safe neighbourhood — at $1.65M it's expensive but not ultra-luxury. Walk score 78, great schools, and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT arrives soon.

135 incidents in the shadow of Toronto's castle. Dense enough for good transit (walk score 82) while maintaining low crime. A rare urban-safe combination.

136 incidents near Yonge & Lawrence. One of the best value-for-safety picks: strong schools (7.2/10), subway access, and $1.5M median — well below the other top-10 entries.

137 incidents and the LOWEST KSI in the top 15 at just 8. The Humber River ravine limits through-traffic. Best value in the top 10 at $1.35M.

The east-side surprise. 138 incidents in a walkable, transit-rich (Broadview station) neighbourhood at $1.25M. Higher shootings (12) than the west-side entries, but still well below average.

Bloor West Village's commercial strip adds vibrancy without adding crime. 140 incidents, strong BIA, and a genuine village feel.

Tied at 140 with Bloor West but at a much higher price point. The premium buys larger lots and proximity to some of Toronto's best private schools.

142 incidents. Slightly less safe than Forest Hill South but $400K cheaper. The Cedarvale Ravine provides both green space and a natural crime buffer.

The best value on this list at $1.2M. 144 incidents, 18% below average. Walk score 80, strong transit, and rapid gentrification pushing amenities up.

145 incidents in Etobicoke's premium pocket. The Humber River valley provides both recreation and a natural safety corridor. Larger lots and a suburban feel at urban prices.
