How these grades are computed
Grades from A to E, computed automatically from open data (police, city, census). Each criterion ranks this neighbourhood against the other neighbourhoods of the same city: A for the best-placed fifth, E for the lowest fifth. A relative position, not a verdict.
Bathurst Manor shows a major crime rate of 9.0, well below the city average, and the trend over the past year is falling. The neighbourhood also stands out for its green space, with parks covering 38.4% of the land, and for a housing stock still largely made up of older dwellings built 32.6%.
Crime and Safety
The Toronto Police Service recorded 159 major crimes in Bathurst Manor over the latest reporting year, down from 233 the year before, a change of -31.8%. These incidents span assaults, vehicle thefts, break-ins, robberies and major thefts, with assaults making up the largest share at 56.6% of all reports.

Housing Stock
Bathurst Manor counted 6,060 occupied dwellings at the last census. Condominiums make up 16.0% of that stock, while renter households account for 45.8% — a figure that sits close to the city-wide renter share of 48.1%.
Tall apartment buildings represent 33.3% of dwellings here, suggesting a housing mix that still leans toward lower-rise forms compared with denser parts of Toronto. A substantial portion of the stock, 32.6%, was built up to the early post-war years, pointing to an established, mature neighbourhood rather than one shaped by recent development.

Rents in the Toronto Area
CMHC does not publish rents specific to Bathurst Manor, so the figures below describe the Toronto census metropolitan area as a whole and should be read as regional context rather than a prediction of what any one building in the neighbourhood charges.
Across the region, bachelor units averaged $1,491, smaller units averaged $1,761, family-sized units averaged $2,045, and the largest units averaged $2,294 in the most recent CMHC survey year. Anyone comparing a specific listing in Bathurst Manor against these regional averages should treat them as a benchmark, not a guarantee.
Practical Notes for Newcomers
With break-ins running below the city average and the broader crime trend falling, Bathurst Manor's safety profile looks reassuring on paper, though basic precautions like securing entry points still make sense anywhere. Renters, who make up 45.8% of households here, may want to look into tenant insurance given how much of the housing stock predates 32.6% and could carry the quirks of older construction.
Buyers weighing a purchase should factor in that condominiums account for only 16.0% of the local stock, which narrows the field compared with more condo-dense neighbourhoods. Getting a mortgage pre-approval early can help clarify what's realistic before house-hunting here, particularly given how regional rents and purchase prices interact across the Toronto CMA.
