Most people start this search thinking there are two options. There are four, they work in completely different ways, and the differences are where families get caught out.

Start by knowing what you’re looking at
Tap a card to see only that kind of place. Tap it again to see everything. Prefer a map? There’s one further down.
Prefer to see it on a map?
Same places, plotted. Use the search box inside the map to type in an address, your own or a family member’s, and it will show you what’s nearby.
The list above is easier to read on a phone. The map is better for one question in particular: how far is this from where I live now?
The part that costs people money
Four ownership structures show up in the list. They are not interchangeable, and the difference is usually financial.
- Land lease
- You own the home. You lease the lot it sits on, and pay a monthly fee for it. Most lenders will not write a standard mortgage on a land lease home, so sort the financing out before you fall in love with one. There are none inside Toronto, Peel or Halton. They start further out, in Innisfil, Alliston, Cookstown, Sutton and Newcastle.
- Life lease
- You buy the right to occupy, not the title. Resale is usually controlled by the sponsor, there is often a fee taken on resale, and the appreciation formula can be capped. Read the agreement before an offer goes in, not after.
- Freehold and condo
- Ordinary ownership, ordinary financing. In a 55+ community, check what the monthly fee covers and whether the age restriction is actually in the declaration or just in the marketing.
- Rent-geared-to-income
- Subsidized rental. Each region runs its own centralized waitlist. MyAccesstoHousingTO in Toronto, DASH in Durham, HATCH in Halton, and Peel’s centralized wait list. Waits are measured in years, so apply early rather than at the point of need.
Not sure which of these fits?
That’s the normal starting point. A list tells you what exists. It can’t tell you what suits your situation, your timing or your budget. We’re happy to talk it through, whether or not there’s a house to sell at the end of it.
