Property management in Davisville.
Davisville is midtown's quieter rental pocket just south of Yonge and Eglinton, with a cluster of post-war apartment towers, older houses and new condos near the subway. It's popular with professionals and families who want Line 1 and the green space of Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Beltline without downtown prices.
Buildings and housing in Davisville
South-east of Yonge and Davisville, Balliol Street, Merton Street and Davisville Avenue are lined with purpose-built rental towers and mid-rises from the 1950s and 1960s, now joined by newer condos on the same blocks. West of Yonge and along Mount Pleasant Road, there are 1910s–30s brick houses, some split into duplexes or with basement suites. Yonge Street between Davisville and Eglinton has low-rise retail with apartments above, and Mount Pleasant Road has its own smaller shopping strip. The Beltline Trail runs behind Merton Street along the edge of Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and the TTC's Davisville yard sits beside the subway.
Who rents in Davisville
Tenants include young professionals, couples and families who want the subway and the local schools. Seniors with long tenancies fill many of the older towers. Staff at Sunnybrook and the offices at Yonge and Eglinton live nearby, and Line 5's Mount Pleasant station is a short walk north. Turnover is moderate: condo suites change every couple of years, while tower tenants often stay for many. Demand holds steady through the year, with families leasing most in spring so they can settle before the school year starts.
Managing property here
The older rental towers on Balliol and Merton fall under RentSafeTO and need capital planning for boilers, elevators, balconies and underground garages. Many have long-term tenants with rents well below market, so any above-guideline increase needs careful documentation. Condo suites need move bookings and coordination with each building. Houses need century-home maintenance: old wiring, plumbing and basement waterproofing. On Yonge Street, the mixed-use buildings need commercial lease administration and flat-roof care. New towers keep going up around Yonge and Davisville, so construction noise and lane closures are part of life here, and tenants ask about it at viewings. We answer honestly and note it in the listing.

Can you manage an older rental tower on Balliol or Merton Street?
Yes. We handle RentSafeTO registration, tenant notices, repairs and capital planning for boilers, elevators, balconies and garages. Every job is documented with photos, and you approve any repair above the limit you set, so there are no surprises on the monthly statement.
Are Davisville condo units rent-controlled?
It depends on when the unit was first occupied. Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the rent increase guideline. We check each unit's status before issuing any increase.
