About Kensington Market & Chinatown
Kensington Market is a small grid of streets west of Spadina Avenue between College and Dundas, packed with grocers, vintage shops, cafés and food counters. Waves of Jewish, Portuguese, Caribbean, Chinese and Latin American newcomers have shaped it since the early 20th century, and it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2006. On the last Sunday of the summer months its streets close to cars for Pedestrian Sunday.
More about Kensington Market & Chinatown
Chinatown runs along Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street right beside it, a long-established Chinatown with restaurants, bakeries and grocers and the Spadina and Dundas streetcars. The Art Gallery of Ontario and OCAD University are a few blocks east. Homes in the market itself are mostly Victorian row houses, some with shops below, while condos and loft conversions sit on Spadina, Dundas and the edges of the area. Searches for Kensington Market lofts are common, and several converted buildings carry the name.
In the MLS® system the area is the Kensington-Chinatown community, in TRREB’s C01 district. It is a smaller market than the tower communities to the south, with fewer sales each quarter, so condo buyers should expect less choice at any one time and should watch the few buildings they like. For investors and owners alike, the appeal is location: the university, the hospitals on University Avenue and the Financial District are all close.
By the numbers: TRREB recorded 34 sales of all home types in the Kensington-Chinatown community in the second quarter of 2026, at an average price of $658,270 and a median of $594,000; homes took an average of 32 days to sell, went for 96% of their asking price (a little under asking on average), and 74 listings were active at the end of the quarter. Because those figures mix condos and houses, the district benchmark is a better guide to a typical condo: TRREB’s MLS® Home Price Index put the benchmark condo apartment in district C01 at $543,300 in October 2026, down 8.4% from a year earlier.
