Raspberry Terrace

Raspberry Terrace runs through the Ford neighbourhood in north Milton, a quiet residential crescent that sits just west of Martin Street. The street is a terrace, not a through road, which gives it a contained, low-traffic character. It is framed by Ford District Park at its southern edge and by newer subdivisions that extend north toward Derry Road. The homes here are part of Milton's early 2000s expansion, built during a period when the town was growing steadily outward from its historic core. The street's position places it within walking distance of parkland and a short drive from the commercial corridor along Main Street East.

Raspberry Terrace is a mix of detached houses and semi-detached homes, with detached properties making up the majority. The detached homes typically trade around $1.5M, while the semis settle in the high-$700s to low-$800s. Lot sizes are generous for a terrace street, with many homes sitting on parcels of 35 to 45 feet wide. The architecture leans toward two-storey designs with brick and stone facades, a common aesthetic for the era. Garages are attached, and driveways accommodate two cars.

The street's housing stock is consistent in age, built largely in the early 2000s. Exterior treatments vary slightly by builder, but the overall palette is neutral brick with occasional stone accents. Floor plans typically offer four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with finished basements in many homes. The semi-detached units are slightly smaller, often with three bedrooms above grade. Condition across the street is well-maintained; several homes have updated kitchens and bathrooms. The street's uniformity in era gives it a cohesive look, while individual updates add subtle variety.

Ford District Park is at the southern end of Raspberry Terrace, a short walk from any home on the street. The park offers a playground, sports fields, and walking paths. For groceries, a Sobeys is an eight-minute drive east on Main Street, and a Walmart and FreshCo are within nine minutes. Milton District Hospital is eight minutes by car, providing emergency and urgent care. The Milton GO Station is ten minutes away, with trains to Toronto's Union Station in about seventy minutes.

Several schools serve the area. Craig Kielburger Secondary School is a four-minute drive, and St. Scholastica Catholic Elementary School is also four minutes away. For outdoor recreation, Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area and Kelso Conservation Area are each about six minutes by car, offering hiking, biking, and seasonal activities. The highway access point at Regional Road 25 and Highway 401 is nine minutes away, connecting to Mississauga in roughly twenty-two minutes and to Pearson International Airport in about thirty-two minutes.

Raspberry Terrace trades at a typical price near $1.35M across seven sales, with detached homes anchoring the range at a typical price around $1.45M. Recent activity shows material variability. Q1 2025 opened near $1.4M across two trades; Q2 2025 softened notably to around $1.15M; Q4 2025 recovered sharply to around $1.55M on three transactions. The amplitude of this movement reflects the street's limited transaction count and the sensitivity of typical price to individual unit positioning and condition. A four-bedroom detached home traded around $1.55M in Q4 2025, setting the upper register for recent comps.

Days on market average around 80, indicating measured absorption typical of the price band. Active listings currently stand at zero, suggesting recent sales have cleared available supply. Lease activity is steady: five units have rented over the comparable window, with four-bedroom detached homes leasing around $4,000 to $4,250 per month, a two-bedroom basement unit at around $1,800, and a one-bedroom at $1,500. Against the detached-home sale range, four-bedroom rentals imply gross yields in the 2.7 to 3.0 percent range. The detached majority (five of seven sales) trades markedly higher than semi-detached comparables, a structural distinction that frames pricing across the street.

Across the Ford neighbourhood, comparable detached homes have moved through a different trade arc. The typical sale price sits near $1.2M across a sample of 189 transactions over the past year, positioning Raspberry Terrace detached homes at a material premium to the broader neighbourhood pattern. Year-over-year, neighbourhood-wide prices have eased modestly, down roughly 1.3 percent, suggesting a gentle headwind across the wider market. Sold-to-ask readings of approximately 0.976 indicate buyers securing modest negotiation room relative to ask price; neighbourhood-wide pace runs slightly faster than Raspberry Terrace's own days on market, with comparable detached homes typically clearing in around 97 days versus the street's 80-day average.

Raspberry Terrace sits in the Ford neighbourhood, a position that makes the GO line the realistic Toronto commute. A ten-minute drive to Milton GO Station puts Union under 70 minutes total. For those working in Mississauga, the 401 ramp at Regional Road 25 is a nine-minute drive, making the daily run to Square One or the 403 corridor manageable. Pearson is about half an hour by car. The street itself is quiet, a terrace that sees little through traffic, so the road network handles the load without the noise of a busier artery.

Public elementary students on Raspberry Terrace draw to E.W. Foster Public School, a six-minute drive, or W.I. Dick Middle School at the same distance. Sam Sherratt Public School is a minute further. Catholic elementary students attend St. Scholastica Catholic Elementary, a four-minute drive from the street's southern end. Secondary catchment falls to Craig Kielburger Secondary School for public board students, a four-minute drive, and St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School for Catholic students, seven minutes away.

Raspberry Terrace tends to suit families who want a newer detached home in a quiet pocket of Ford, with good access to parks and schools. The stock is predominantly detached, with a typical price around $1.45M, which signals a preference for newer, larger floor plans. Buyers here accept a longer commute to Toronto in exchange for more space and a quieter street. The rental market leans toward long-term tenants, with most leases unfurnished and on 12-month terms, suggesting a stable neighbourhood. This is not a street for those who need walkable transit or a short drive to the GO station.

If a shorter commute to Toronto or walkable transit is a priority, look closer to Milton GO station or along the 401 corridor. For those seeking smaller lots or a more established feel, streets in the older parts of Ford may offer different tradeoffs. Buyers exploring comparable options might consider the area around Martin Street, where condos trade around $310K and the pattern is more mixed, suiting investors or first-time buyers. If a larger lot or newer construction is the goal, newer subdivisions in the same neighbourhood may deliver that, though at a higher price point.
