In this area of average incomes, there is a mix of housing size and quality. While this may present buying opportunities, growth may be constrained.

A mix of professions and above average income earners in Don Valley provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases.
