Stirling Todd Terrace

Stirling Todd Terrace sits in the Bowes neighbourhood of north Milton, a residential pocket shaped by the escarpment's rise. The street runs as a quiet terrace, bookended by larger arterial roads but insulated from their traffic. It is a street of families and long-term renters, where front lawns are kept and driveways hold minivans and SUVs. The surrounding area is defined by parks and schools, giving the street a settled, suburban rhythm. This is not a through-route; it is a destination for those who live here.

Stirling Todd Terrace is a mix of detached homes and townhouses, built in the early 2000s. The detached homes are two-storey, four- and five-bedroom models with attached garages, typically sitting on lots that allow for a backyard and a front setback. The townhouses are also two-storey, with three or four bedrooms, and share common driveways. Both types are finished in brick and siding, with neutral colours dominating the palette. The street's housing stock is uniform in era but varied in footprint, with detached homes reaching 3,000 square feet and townhouses settling in the 1,500 to 2,000 square foot range.

The townhouses along Stirling Todd tend to have open-concept main floors, with kitchens opening to living and dining areas. The detached homes often include a family room and a separate formal living space. Exterior treatments are consistent: brick on the lower half, vinyl or hardboard siding above. Roofs are asphalt shingle, and most homes have concrete driveways. The street shows good upkeep; landscaping is tidy, and few homes show deferred maintenance. The mix of ownership and rental tenure gives the street a balanced feel, with turnover occurring steadily but not rapidly.

Stirling Todd Terrace is within a six-minute walk of Escarpment View Park, a neighbourhood green space with playground equipment and open fields. Several other parks are a short drive away, including Centennial Park and Rotary Park, both about five minutes by car. The Milton District Hospital is six minutes away, and Highway 401 at James Snow Parkway is four minutes from the street, offering a direct route to Mississauga and Toronto.

Grocery shopping is convenient: Walmart, FreshCo, Canadian Superstore, and Sobeys are all within a five- to six-minute drive. For schools, the area is served by Milton District High School and Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School, both five minutes away, along with several elementary schools within walking distance. The Milton Muslim Community Centre is five minutes by car. The Milton GO Station is 16 minutes away, making the street better suited for drivers than transit commuters, though the highway access partially compensates.

Stirling Todd Terrace trades exclusively in the rental market, with no resale history available for analysis. The street has recorded ten lease transactions across both detached homes and townhouses. A four-bedroom detached home rented around $3,400 per month in mid-2026, while a five-bedroom detached unit leased near $5,000 per month in autumn 2025. Three-bedroom townhouses on the street rent in the mid-$3,100s, with four-bedroom units clustering around $3,300 to $3,600 per month. Rental activity spans the range of $3,200 to $5,000 monthly across recent quarters, reflecting the mix of unit sizes and configurations present on the street.

The property composition splits between four detached homes and six townhouses, each with distinct rental profiles. Detached units command a premium; a larger four-bedroom detached property leased at $4,500 per month in mid-2025, while comparable four-bedroom townhouses move around $3,300 to $3,600 monthly. Days on market for recent leases average in the range of nine to forty-five days, indicating steady rental demand without material vacancy pressure. One listing is currently active. As the street has generated no sale transactions, rental yield and purchase-price comparison cannot be assessed; however, the consistency of lease outcomes across bed counts and property types suggests stable tenant demand in the Bowes neighbourhood.

Across the Bowes neighbourhood, comparable townhouse homes have moved through an active trade pattern. The typical sold price in the neighbourhood stands around $875,000, with comparable homes typically clearing in sixty-two days. Prices have firmed notably, moving up by approximately 11 percent year over year. Buyers are meeting ask with near-full bids; the sold-to-ask ratio sits at approximately 0.98, indicating sellers are achieving their pricing expectations with minimal negotiation. This neighbourhood-wide momentum reflects steady absorption across the townhouse segment, contrasting with Stirling Todd's rental-only current activity.

Stirling Todd Terrace sits in the Bowes neighbourhood, a pocket that trades quiet residential streets for proximity to the 401. The on-ramp at James Snow Parkway is a four-minute drive, making Mississauga a 22-minute run and Pearson reachable in just over half an hour. Toronto's downtown via the GO line is a longer proposition — the Milton GO station is 16 minutes away by car, and the full trip runs just over an hour. For daily commutes, the highway access is the stronger hand. The street itself sees little through traffic, so the road network handles the load without the noise of a busier corridor.

Public elementary students on Stirling Todd Terrace draw to Anne J. MacArthur Public School, a six-minute drive, or to Tiger Jeet Singh Public School and Robert Baldwin Public School, both similarly close. Secondary catchment falls to Milton District High School, also five minutes by car. Catholic families route to Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Elementary School or Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary School, each roughly six minutes away, with Bishop P.F. Reding Catholic Secondary School serving the high school years. The cluster of schools within a short drive makes this a practical street for families who prioritize school proximity without needing to walk.

Stirling Todd Terrace suits families who want a newer, low-traffic terrace in Bowes with quick highway access. The stock leans toward townhouses and detached homes built in the 2000s, with three to five bedrooms — a fit for households that need space but prefer a smaller footprint than a full detached lot. The rental market here is active and anchored by long-term tenants; nearly all recent leases are unfurnished 12-month terms, signalling a stable renter base rather than transient demand. Buyers who value a quiet street within five minutes of groceries, parks, and the 401 on-ramp will find the tradeoff works. Those who need walkable transit or a shorter GO commute may want to look elsewhere.

If you're considering alternatives in similar pockets, homes built in the early 2000s on streets closer to the Milton GO station may offer a shorter rail commute at the expense of highway access. For buyers who want larger lots or more established tree cover, streets in older sections of Bowes with detached homes on wider frontages trade in a similar price range but with a different feel. Those prioritizing walkability to schools or parks might look at streets with elementary schools within a five-minute walk rather than a drive. Each shift in priority opens a different street profile, and the tradeoff is worth naming explicitly.
