TORONTO, ON - JUNE 28 - King Oaks in King City is a prime example of the luxury real estate that has pushed up average incomes in many neighbourhoods in York Region in recent decades. This model home is called "The Burgundy" and comes with a wine room, vaulted ceilings, 7 baths, 5 bedrooms, den, office, nanny's quarters and many more features. The house is 7906 square feet. It is located near the intersection of Keele Street and King Road.
New data on York Region offers further proof that the outer suburbs of the GTA, once strongholds of the middle class, are becoming increasingly stratified along economic lines. Unlike other parts of the 905, York Region has deepened its position as a destination for the wealthy among us. But while many neighbourhoods have become high-income, pockets of poverty are also sprouting up in a region that wasn't built to accommodate those on the lower end of the income spectrum.
