CHARACTER-FILLED CENTURY HOME ON A 70 X 130 FT LOT ACROSS FROM FAIRGROUNDS PARK & MOMENTS FROM HISTORIC MAIN STREET! A big in-town lot across from the park is already a win, but add wood beams, a vaulted kitchen, a 3-season room, and a spiral staircase, and 621 Lydia Street has the character you don't often find. Set directly across from Fairgrounds Park with a playground, ball diamonds and green space, this home places schools, transit, shopping and restaurants close by, with Historic Main Street, Fairy Lake Park, Riverwalk Commons, Upper Canada Mall and Southlake Health all within a quick drive. Mature trees frame the 70 x 130 ft lot, complete with driveway parking for 4, a shed and a large yard with room for gardens, play space and outdoor dining. The main level is full of personality, featuring exposed wood beams, warm wood trim, hardwood flooring, cheerful paint tones and a spiral staircase. A large vaulted kitchen offers wood cabinetry, tile flooring, a skylight, plenty of prep space and a walkout to the 3-season room, where park views make morning coffee feel extra special. A main floor 3-piece bathroom with a clawfoot tub adds vintage charm, while the upper level features 2 bedrooms and a 3-piece bathroom, including a primary bedroom with a walkout to an elevated deck. Zoning may permit an accessory dwelling unit, bed and breakfast establishment, home occupation and private home daycare, offering added flexibility for a range of future uses. With a walkable Newmarket location, a generous 70 x 130 ft lot and character throughout, this #HomeToStay is full of details that make it feel anything but ordinary.

School boundaries this address is inside
Where these boundaries come from, and what they are worth
A school boundary is the area a board draws around a school. An address inside several of them is normal — boards publish a separate boundary per program, so regular track, French immersion and specialist programs each have their own.
York Region. Published by the York Region District School Board’s planning department, with the date the board approved each boundary shown above. A boundary approved years ago is still the current one until the board redraws it, but the older the date, the more worth confirming.
Homula cannot tell you which school a child will attend. Boards move boundaries, hold students at capacity, cap programs and grant exceptions, and none of that is in any published file. The board is the only authority: YRDSB school locator.

By distance from this address, not school boundary — a school 400 m away can be in another school’s attendance area.
| School | Level | Distance | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sacred Heart Catholic High School York CDSB | Secondary | 925 m | / 10 74% met the standard · 2 of 6 measures |
| Stuart Scott Public School York Region DSB | Elementary | 1.1 km | / 10 77% met the standard |
| Bogart Public School York Region DSB | Elementary | 1.1 km | / 10 87% met the standard |
How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

H-Value
The market around this home
Detached houses in Gorham-College Manor — 122 sales over the last five years.
How these are built, and what they cannot tell you
Each point is the median of the sales that closed in that quarter among detached houses in gorham-college manor. A quarter with fewer than eight is left out rather than drawn, and the line breaks where that happens — a median over three sales is really one home’s price, and joining across a gap would draw a number nobody measured.
This is not an estimate of what this home is worth. The segment is a property type in an area; it takes no account of this home’s size, condition, renovations, lot, exposure or how it compares to its neighbours, and half the homes in any quarter sold for more than the median and half for less. It is context for a conversation with an agent, not a valuation.

The neighbourhood, by the census
Statistics Canada 2021 Census for dissemination area 35190927 — the few blocks around this address, home to 551 people. It describes the area, not this property.
Percentages are of the 310 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

Work out the numbers
Everything below is calculated in your browser from figures you can change. Nothing is sent anywhere.
If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
