Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 272 rental units. The nearest is 51-67 Waterford Dr (42 m, 29 units, 8 storeys, built 1962), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 4 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue.
| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 51-67 Waterford Dr · Quadreal Residential Properties G.p. Inc. | 29 | 8 | 1962 | 95 · Aug 2026 | 0 | 42 m |

| 35 Widdicombe Hill · Boulevard Management Ltd. | 121 | 11 | 1968 | 95 · Nov 2025 | 2 | 930 m |
The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 71 m away, ≈7 spaces; 119 m away, ≈119 spaces; 164 m away, ≈53 spaces; 231 m away, ≈32 spaces; 284 m away, ≈141 spaces; 308 m away, ≈226 spaces.
Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 15, 2004
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,881 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 573 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,246 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,330 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On La Rose Ave between Russell Rd and Hamptonbrook Dr, 293 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2012 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Eglinton Ave W – La Rose Ave · 102 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 12,649 | — | — | — |
| La Rose Ave · Russell Rd – Hamptonbrook Dr · 293 m | Apr 2012 · 2 days | 1,690 | 51 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
