Toronto
The city’s inner suburbs have some of Ontario’s best-known bungalow streets. Many sit on wide lots suited to renovation, additions or a garden suite. Start with Toronto region listings.
Peel Region
Mississauga and Brampton offer a deep supply of bungalows and split-levels, many with finished basements and separate entrances. Caledon adds rural and estate options.
York Region
Vaughan, Markham, Aurora and Newmarket combine family suburbs with older bungalow pockets. Newer communities add some bungalow townhomes. Browse York Region homes.
Durham Region
Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scugog are popular with first-time buyers and downsizers looking for more space for the money.
Halton Region
Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills offer established neighbourhoods and quick highway access. Burlington and Oakville have mature bungalow streets close to Lake Ontario, while Halton Hills offers small-town living in Georgetown and Acton.
Beyond the GTA: other Ontario regions we serve
Many buyers widen their search beyond the GTA for value, lifestyle or retirement. We also serve:
- Hamilton: bungalows on the Mountain and in established neighbourhoods.
- Simcoe: Barrie, Innisfil and lakeside towns on Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay.
- Niagara: St. Catharines, Welland and smaller retirement-friendly towns.
- Waterloo: Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, with strong local job markets.
- Dufferin: Orangeville and rural communities with a small-town feel.
- Peterborough: a lakes-and-rivers lifestyle within reach of the GTA.
- Brantford: an affordable city with access to Highway 403.
Bungalow tip: If you’re torn between two regions, compare the total cost of living, not just home prices. Add commuting, property taxes and utilities. A home in a farther-out region may cost less up front but more each month if you’ll drive often.
How to search bungalows in your area
You can explore listings in a few ways:
- By region or city: start from a region page and narrow down to a city.
- By style: search raised bungalows, bungalofts, backsplits, sidesplits and more.
- By price: filter by budget, from entry-level homes to luxury bungalows.
- By feature: look for separate entrances, 2-car garages or pools.
Want to see new homes first? Set up new-listing alerts for the areas and styles you like. You’ll get an email when a matching bungalow hits the market.
Selling a bungalow in one of these areas
Bungalows attract a specific mix of buyers: downsizers, families and investors. Marketing to all three takes local knowledge of how each area’s buyers think.
If you’re thinking about selling, a free home evaluation is a good first step. It uses recent sales of similar homes nearby to estimate your value, so you can plan your next move with confidence.
How we work with you
Every move is different, so we start with a conversation about your goals, timeline and budget. From there, we help with:
- Narrowing down regions and neighbourhoods that fit.
- Arranging showings and reviewing each home’s condition and value.
- Writing and negotiating offers.
- Coordinating with your mortgage agent, lawyer and home inspector.
For sellers, we handle pricing, preparation, marketing and negotiation from listing day to closing.
