There is something special about a first home that is truly ready for you, and 878 Grenon Avenue is exactly that: warm, bright, well priced, and full of room to grow into. This is the house where renting ends and weekend pancakes in a kitchen you own begin. Inside, there is more space than you would guess. Three bedrooms up, including a primary with its own ensuite, plus a landing closet so big the current owners use it as an office. Suddenly you are the person with a home office AND a guest room. The updated kitchen (2023) with butcher block counters is bright and full of storage, and the hardwood living/dining room opens to a balcony made for morning coffee. Downstairs, the finished rec room walks out to the backyard and flexes with your life: movie den, gym, playroom, or guest space (ask about the Murphy bed). Outside, a newly fenced yard (2025), deck, and an oversized shed mean summer barbecues now and room for every hobby you pick up later. This is also a home that gives you your weekends back. A convenient heat pump keeps heating and cooling efficient year-round. The roof (2011) has 30-year shingles, and the attached garage with inside entry means no more scraping windshields in January. Getting around? Effortless. The new west-end LRT stations are minutes away, so you can be the person who reads on the commute instead of white-knuckling the Queensway (though the 417 is right there when you need it). Bayshore Shopping Centre, IKEA, groceries, and Britannia Beach with its river paths and legendary sunsets are all close by. Sized for real life, priced to make the numbers work, and ready when you are. Come see the place where your next chapter begins. Freehold with common elements. $950/year association fee covers snow removal and common area maintenance.

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.

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.
