Where Crosby is and the feel of it
Crosby is one of Richmond Hill’s older established neighbourhoods, and it carries the advantages that come with age: mature trees, wider original lots, and a genuinely walkable location near the historic Yonge Street core and the Richmond Hill GO station.
The feel is settled and unpretentious, with a steady wave of renovation and rebuilding as newer owners update older homes or replace them. That mix of original bungalows and new custom builds gives the streets character and gives buyers options at different budgets.
Homes and prices in Crosby
The housing stock skews older: detached homes and bungalows from the 1950s through 1970s on established lots. Many are original and move-in ready at a lower price, while others have been renovated or torn down and rebuilt as larger custom homes, which widens the price range considerably.
Because the homes are older and the location is central, Crosby often offers better entry value than the newer north-end pockets, especially for buyers open to an original home or a renovation project. The ranges below are general early-2026 starting points, not quotes.
| Home type | Typical price range (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Detached / bungalow | $1.3M – $2.0M |
| Rebuilt / custom detached | $1.8M – $3.0M+ |
| Semi-detached | $1.0M – $1.3M |
| Condo / townhouse | $550K – $1.0M |
