159 Hillside Avenue, Toronto, ON M8V 1T3
- Property tax
- $4,236 / year
159 Hillside has a way of calling you home. Perched among the mature trees on one of Mimico's favourite streets, this raised bungalow (with tall basement) sits quietly above it all, the kind of home you don't find so much as arrive at (with your jaw wide open). 2+1 beds, 2 full baths, 2 kitchens, and a ton of warmth and character. Enter through a full-sized mudroom - boots, stroller, life - all taken care of before you step into the open-concept great room. The eat-in kitchen with peninsula and generous living space flow together the way a home should, easy and unhurried. Both bedrooms are a great size with serious storage ability. The bathroom has the size, function, and just the right amount of Kinfolk-cabin-kitsch to make you forget the city exists. Follow the back foyer - desk space, playroom, or simply a moment to breathe - and step out to a massive deck overlooking an even more massive private yard. The kind of yard that makes your friends jealous. Now descend into something that surprises. Large, bright shared laundry and ceilings that just keep going - nearly 8 feet, with ample soundproofing. This one's for you, Mr. Big, who keeps vetoing every house because you can't stand in the basement. Stand here. Comfortably. AND NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT ... behind the laundry door: a lower-level kitchen, bath, and bedroom finished just as well as upstairs, with a separate side entrance for sneaky late-night pizza deliveries - no questions asked. Walk to Mimico GO and TTC, parks, shops restaurants and the famous lake front trails. Hillside has it all. First image has virtual car removal.

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.
Toronto. Read from the TDSB’s own School Search Map, one school at a time. The board states that the lines on that map are approximate and that the schools serving an individual address must be confirmed against its own address lookup — so the outline here shows you roughly where a boundary runs, and the board answers whether a particular house is in it. The map covers home schools only: French Immersion, gifted and the other optional programs have their own boundaries and their own admission rules, and are not shown.
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: TDSB Find Your School.
Sources: TDSB School Search Map — the board states these lines are approximate and that individual addresses must be confirmed against its own lookup.

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.

The market around this home
Detached houses in Mimico — 151 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 mimico. 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 35201547 — the few blocks around this address, home to 674 people. It describes the area, not this property.
Percentages are of the 420 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.

City planning file →What these are
These are applications made to the City — a proposal to build something, not a decision that it will be built. Many are refused, withdrawn, reduced, or approved and then left for years. The status shown is the one the City last recorded, and each entry links to the City’s own file, which is the authoritative record.
Whether a nearby development is welcome depends on what you want from a street, so this panel reports what has been applied for and leaves the judgement to you.
