Moira Crescent is a quiet residential loop in the Bowes neighbourhood of north Milton.
Moira Crescent is a quiet residential loop in the Bowes neighbourhood of north Milton. The street sits just east of Ontario Street, within a short drive of the Milton District Hospital and several major grocery stores. It is a compact crescent, lined with townhomes built in the early 2000s. The area feels settled and family-oriented, with mature trees and well-maintained front yards. Escarpment View Park lies within walking distance, offering open green space and a playground. The street's position provides easy access to Highway 401 via James Snow Parkway, making it a practical choice for commuters.
Moira Crescent consists entirely of townhomes, built in the early 2000s. The units are arranged in traditional block-style rows, with two-storey layouts and attached garages. Floor plans typically offer three or four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with living areas spanning 1,100 to 2,000 square feet. The builder is not attributed with high confidence, but the consistent architectural treatment across the street suggests a single developer phase. Brick and vinyl siding are the dominant exterior materials, with some units featuring stone accents at the front elevation.
The townhomes share a uniform roofline and setback, giving the crescent a cohesive, orderly appearance. Driveways are short, and street parking is limited. Many units have been updated with modern flooring, kitchen finishes, and refreshed bathrooms. The interiors tend to favour open-concept main floors with eat-in kitchens. Basements are typically unfinished, offering expansion potential. The overall condition is good, reflecting steady owner-occupancy and regular maintenance. Across the broader Bowes area, townhomes of this vintage typically trade around $882,500.
Moira Crescent is within a five-minute drive of several daily-use amenities. Walmart and FreshCo are both a short drive south on Ontario Street, as are Sobeys and Canadian Superstore. Milton District Hospital is six minutes by car. Escarpment View Park is a six-minute walk from the crescent, providing a playground and open fields. For secondary schooling, both Milton District High School and Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School are within a five-minute drive.
The Milton GO Station is about 16 minutes away by car, but the Highway 401 on-ramp at James Snow Parkway is just four minutes from the street, making regional driving straightforward. Several places of worship are nearby, including the Milton Muslim Community Centre five minutes away. The area lacks a walkable commercial core, but the concentration of big-box retail and services along Ontario Street covers most household needs. For recreation, Rotary Park and Centennial Park are both five minutes by car.
Moira Crescent trades rarely as a resale street, with only a single recorded sale over the past year against seven lease transactions. The street's activity is dominated by rental tenants rather than owner-occupiers seeking to purchase. With just one active listing currently on the market, supply is functionally non-existent for buyers; the street operates as a rental destination. Days on market for that single recorded sale averaged around 70 days, a measured pace that reflects the thin buyer pool at the street level.
Rental activity on Moira tells a more complete story. Three-bedroom townhouses have leased around $3,100 per month, while four-bedroom units have settled near $3,250 per month. A four-bedroom townhouse rented for $3,350 per month in June 2026, a three-bedroom at $3,200 per month in May 2026, and another three-bedroom at $3,100 per month in November 2025, establishing a consistent rental band across the unit types present on the street. With seven lease transactions recorded against a single sale, the street demonstrates stable tenant demand but negligible owner-occupier transaction frequency. This lease-heavy profile suggests Moira functions primarily as an investment or build-to-rent street within the Bowes neighbourhood, where rental yields have anchored around the $3,100 to $3,350 monthly band for comparable townhouse floor plates.
Across the Bowes neighbourhood, comparable townhouse homes have sold at notably different price levels than what Moira Crescent's lease-focused profile suggests. Neighbourhood-wide, comparable townhouses typically trade around $882,500, with sales activity clearing in around 64 days. The neighbourhood has firmed modestly year-over-year, with prices climbing approximately 12 percent, and buyers are paying near ask in this market, with sold-to-ask ratio settling just above par. The neighbourhood's resale townhouse market operates at full liquidity and mature transaction frequency, providing a meaningful contrast to Moira Crescent's lean listing environment and rental-dominated activity pattern.
Moira Crescent sits in Bowes, a pocket where the 401 ramp at James Snow Parkway is a four-minute drive. That puts Mississauga within 22 minutes and Pearson within 32. The Milton GO station is 16 minutes away, making the downtown Toronto commute a realistic hour-plus proposition for those who drive to the train. For Oakville and Burlington, the drive runs around 24 and 20 minutes respectively. The street itself is a quiet crescent, so the road network handles the load without the through-traffic noise of busier corridors.
Public elementary students on Moira Crescent draw to Anne J. MacArthur Public School or Tiger Jeet Singh Public School, both about a six-minute drive. Robert Baldwin Public School is also within a six-minute drive. Secondary catchment falls to Milton District High School, five minutes away. Catholic students attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary or Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary, each roughly six minutes by car, with Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School five minutes away. The range of nearby schools gives families options depending on program and board preference.
Moira Crescent suits families and long-term renters who want a quiet crescent in Bowes with townhouse living and quick highway access. The rental market here is dominated by unfurnished townhouses on 12-month leases, signalling anchored tenants rather than transient demand. Most units lease within a few weeks to a couple of months, reflecting steady interest. Buyers who accept a tighter lot and attached living in exchange for a low-maintenance footprint and proximity to the 401 will find the street works well. The mix of three- and four-bedroom layouts appeals to households with children, while the crescent layout keeps through-traffic minimal.
If you're considering alternatives in similar pockets, Wettlaufer Terrace offers detached homes trading around $1.8M, a step up in space and privacy for those who prioritise a standalone house. Apple Terrace mixes detached and townhouse options around $1.6M, suiting buyers who want a broader range of property types. Both are within the same Bowes area, so the commute and amenity access remain similar. The tradeoff is price and lot size; Moira Crescent's townhouses sit at a lower entry point, making it the more accessible option for those prioritising affordability over square footage.
