Renter’s City Guide to Windsor
CITY GUIDE
WINDSOR, ONTARIO
As the southernmost city in Canada, Windsor sits directly on the Canada/United States border and across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. Covering over 146 square kilometres, the city is home to approximately 220,000 people and is situated near the communities of Leamington, Essex, Kingsville, and South Woodslee. Windsor’s lower housing costs and easily accessible public transportation options make it a family-friendly place to reside. The city’s close proximity to the Canada/United States border provides residents with short travel times to visit one of the United States’ larger cities.
Real Estate Market Overview
Windsor is an affordable place to live, with average house prices ranging from $140,000 to $250,000. With a mix of affordable single-family homes, small commercial spaces, pricey vacant land, and condo options, the city’s northern section provides something for every budget. The central section, close to railway lines and the EC Row Expressway, has many older homes at reasonable prices. Newer development in the area offers larger and more expensive homes, and vacant land is also available. Commercial space includes industrial and retail options. With larger houses and yards, the city’s southern section has some of its more expensive real estate. Vacant lots are common in this section, but condo options and commercial spaces are harder to find.
Rental Market
Windsor has a fairly high vacancy rate, ranging from 4% to 6%, although it has been decreasing recently due to higher demand and fewer apartments being built. Smaller buildings tend to have higher vacancy rates in the city, as do older buildings, and the rent costs for these types of buildings reflect their availability. Windsor has affordable rent costs, with averages ranging from $500 for a bachelor apartment to $1,100 for a three-bedroom (or more) apartment. Rent tends to be lowest in the western and central areas of the city, and highest in the eastern areas.
Employment
Windsor’s unemployment rate range of 5% to 7% is about the same as the national average, although the city has seen a decrease in the rate over the past couple of years.
