Homes for rent in Banbury-Don Mills
Housing ranges from mid-century detached homes and bungalows on generous, leafy lots to townhouses and a growing number of condominiums around the Shops at Don Mills. Rental options here lean toward condo suites and townhomes near the corridors alongside the occasional house.

What to consider before renting
Mid-century homes can need updating, so check roofs, windows, foundations and mechanical systems and budget for renovations. Ravine-adjacent lots warrant attention to grading and drainage, and with no local subway, plan your commute around the LRT, bus connections to the Yonge subway and driving.
