Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 12 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 538 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing.

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.

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, Jun 14, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 843 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 67% of the total, against 407 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 225 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 170 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Ormskirk Ave between Southport St and Ormskirk Crt, 37 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2022 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Windermere Ave (336 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.9% of the 85,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ormskirk Ave · Southport St – Ormskirk Crt · 37 m | Apr 2022 · 24 h | 2,151 | 34 km/h | 40 km/h | 44 km/h |

Windermere Ave (northbound), 207 Windermere Avenue · 85,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
13 thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 69% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 13 | 6 | 0 | street/outdoor (9), apartment parking (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 4, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see High Park-Swansea.
