The Toronto Star's Map of the Week

Toronto Real Estate Map

The Toronto Star's Map of the Week column has started a series of interactive Google Maps looking at house prices in the Greater Toronto Area. To start with they have produced a map that shows 86 real estate areas. They plan to add more complexity to the map as the series continues.



The Star's heat map shows resale prices in the 86 areas. The darker the blue of the area's polygon the larger the resale value.

The Toronto Star's Map of the Week column has been running for a few year's now. This great resource of maps of Toronto means that it is possible to compare the house prices in areas with a number of other local factors.

For example, it is possible to compare the Toronto Real Estate Map with some of the great crime maps produced by The Star or compare it to any of the maps in The Star's series of health maps.
