The Hemingway — Rental Market Data

The Hemingway has three active listings as of August 31, 2026, spanning a price range of $2,300 to $2,750 per month with an average asking rent of $2,583 and a median of $2,700. The average active suite measures 681 square feet at an asking rate of $3.91 per square foot. Inventory is evenly split across three layout tiers—one one-bedroom, one one-bedroom plus den, and one two-bedroom—so no single category dominates and the mix skews toward compact entry-level and mid-size suites rather than multi-bedroom executive layouts.

No single layout tier holds a majority share; the three active listings divide equally at 33.3 percent each across one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom categories. The one-bedroom (550 sq ft, $2,700/mo, $4.91/sq ft) and the one-bedroom plus den (642 sq ft, $2,300/mo, $3.58/sq ft) represent the compact end of the spectrum, while the two-bedroom (850 sq ft, $2,750/mo, $3.24/sq ft) anchors the larger tier. Each tier contains a single listing, so renters face zero within-building choice at any given bedroom level.

The Hemingway's three active listings span a $450 spread from a minimum entry rent of $2,300 per month to a peak asking rent of $2,750 per month, a 19.6 percent range. The median asking rent sits at $2,700 per month. The entry-level suite is a one-bedroom plus den at 642 square feet and $3.58 per square foot, while the peak listing is a two-bedroom at 850 square feet and $3.24 per square foot, meaning the larger unit actually carries a lower rate per square foot despite the higher nominal rent.

The Hemingway's active den premium cannot be quantified in a conventional sense: the one-bedroom plus den listing at 642 square feet asks $400 less per month than the one-bedroom at 550 square feet, yielding a negative marginal cost of approximately $4.35 per square foot for the additional 92 square feet of den space. Active parking stall premiums cannot be reliably isolated due to insufficient paired sample data, and no verified parking fee should be assumed for budgeting purposes.

The Hemingway's active asking average of $2,583 per month at $3.91 per square foot sits below the Don Mills submarket asking benchmark of $2,955 per month but 8 percent above the submarket rate of $3.62 per square foot. The lower nominal rent reflects the building's 681-square-foot average footprint, which is 135 square feet smaller than the submarket implied average of 816 square feet. The Hemingway accounts for three out of 69 available listings in the Don Mills submarket, a 4.3 percent share of current active inventory.

The Hemingway's average realized lease rent of $2,600 per month sits $171 above the Don Mills submarket benchmark of $2,429, but no nearby competitor building recorded a single closed lease in the past 180 days, so a direct peer-to-peer rent comparison is not possible. Tapestry at Winfield Terrace B at 215 The Donway W (0.07 km), Winfield Terrace II at 1200 Don Mills Rd (0.11 km), Tapestry at Winfield Terrace A at 225 The Donway W (0.12 km), and Village Mews at 245 The Donway W (0.17 km) each logged zero lease transactions over the trailing 180 days, meaning none carries a realized average rent, per-square-foot rate, or average suite size to benchmark against. The subject's $2,600 realized rent and $4.00 per square foot rate therefore stand as the only transactional data point in this immediate pocket, and the submarket-wide figures of $2,429 per month and $3.56 per square foot serve as the closest available pricing reference.

The Hemingway's realized rate of $4.00 per square foot for a 650-square-foot unit runs 12.4 percent above the Don Mills submarket average of $3.56 per square foot, yet no nearby competitor building produced a closed lease in the past 180 days to anchor a direct per-square-foot or suite-size trade-off. Against the submarket implied average suite of 816 square feet, the subject's active inventory averaging 681 square feet is 135 square feet smaller, so the higher per-square-foot rate partially reflects the building's 2005 construction and amenity package rather than a straightforward valuation premium over a larger interior footprint. Because all four surrounding buildings—Tapestry at Winfield Terrace B, Winfield Terrace II, Tapestry at Winfield Terrace A, and Village Mews—recorded zero lease transactions, renter trade-offs in this pocket are best framed against the submarket aggregate: a tenant paying $2,600 per month at The Hemingway receives 650 to 681 square feet of interior space at a rate roughly $0.44 per square foot above the submarket norm, a spread that the building's EV charging, rooftop terrace, and putting green are positioned to justify.

The Hemingway offers an 11-feature lifestyle package that includes an EV charging station, BBQ area, rooftop terrace, and putting green—four amenities absent from every one of its four nearby competitors. Tapestry at Winfield Terrace B (0.07 km) and Tapestry at Winfield Terrace A (0.12 km) both provide indoor pools and sauna/steam rooms that overlap with the subject, but neither offers EV charging, a rooftop terrace, a BBQ area, or a putting green; Winfield Terrace II (0.11 km) differentiates with an outdoor pool, squash and racquetball court, and an on-site activity director, while Village Mews (0.17 km) is the leanest of the group with no gym, no pool, and no sauna, instead offering a pet wash station and games room. The subject's aquatic and wellness suite (indoor pool, hot tub, sauna/steam room, gym) is matched or exceeded by the 1990-era Tapestry buildings, but the combination of EV-ready infrastructure, rooftop outdoor living, and a putting green positions The Hemingway as the most amenity-forward option in this immediate cluster for renters who prioritize modern convenience, outdoor social space, and low-impact recreation over the older buildings' car wash bays, billiards rooms, and garden courtyards—making it the strongest fit for young professionals and small households who value a turnkey, technology-ready residential experience within walking distance of Don Mills Road transit.
