Costigan Road

Costigan Road at a glance

Costigan Road runs through the Clarke and Dempsey neighbourhoods in north-central Milton, a corridor of mixed residential density that reflects the town's recent growth. The street sits within a grid of newer subdivisions, framed by larger arterial roads like Derry Road and Thompson Road South. It is a straight, wide road with sidewalks and street trees, lined with a blend of townhouses, condominium apartments, and a handful of detached homes. The area feels settled but still active, with construction finishing on nearby lots. Costigan is not a through street for commuters; it serves primarily local traffic. Its position places residents within a few minutes' drive of major retail corridors and Highway 401.

The homes here

The housing stock on Costigan Road is predominantly condominium apartments and townhouses, with a small number of detached homes. Condos make up the largest share, typically two- and three-bedroom units ranging from around 600 to 1,400 square feet. Townhouses are freehold or condominium-style, with three bedrooms and attached garages. Detached homes are rare and sit on standard lots. The street was built in phases during the 2010s, part of Milton's expansion north of the 401. No single builder dominates the street; multiple developers contributed to the mix.

Exterior treatments vary by pocket. The condominium buildings are brick and siding, three to four storeys, with surface parking and landscaped courtyards. Townhouses feature brick fronts with stone accents, private driveways, and small rear yards. Units tend to be well-maintained, with many owner-occupied. Floor plans in the condos are open-concept, with balconies or patios. The townhouses offer two-storey layouts with finished basements in some cases. The street has a consistent, modern feel, with uniform setbacks and coordinated street furniture.

Who this street suits

Costigan Road tends to suit buyers who value quick highway access and a mix of housing types within a single stretch. The stock leans heavily toward condos and townhouses, which keeps entry prices lower than many Milton streets dominated by detached homes. The rental activity is strong, with mostly unfurnished units on standard 12-month leases, signalling a market of long-term tenants rather than transient renters. Lease velocity is moderate, with most units finding tenants within a couple of months. This is a street for those who want to be close to the 401 and the amenities along Main Street without paying a premium for a detached house.

If different priorities matter more

If you are considering alternatives in similar pockets, the tradeoffs are worth noting. For buyers who want larger lots and more detached homes, the area around Wettlaufer Terrace offers that pattern, with detached homes trading around $1.8M. For those who prefer a mix of housing types with a higher price point, Apple Terrace shows a similar mix but with typical prices around $1.6M. Costigan sits at a lower price tier, which reflects its heavier condo and townhouse composition and its position closer to the highway.
