The Toronto Islands are home to around 700 residents. Dilshad Burman finds out what it's like to be an islander and what it takes to buy an island home.
I went to Toronto Island for an elementary school trip. It was a week overnight trip, and it was cool to visit.

They're not worth buying considering you don't own the land. You're just buying the building which depreciates. It's only the scarcity that makes the house worth buying.

Remember when Giorgio Mammolitti was running for Mayor he wanted to add a Red Light District like in The Netherlands on The Toronto Islands? That would have been awesome.

Amazing. In the 50's only people that couldn't afford a home on the mainland lived on the island.

Hmmmmm…a 30-year wait for some shack that’ll be underwater before you get to move in. And if you do?…good luck getting a tradesman over there if any work needs doing. Sign me up!!😃👍🏾

Does no one remember when these islands last flooded? Its been off and on since 2017. These houses are sadly not worth much. Folks are trying to prey on others ignorance and desperation for housing.

i can see them all being evicted from their homes one day since they dont own the land as this is happening too much these days elsewhere.

I think that is a rip off. To buy a home should include land as well. To live in a place like that, and not be able to leave whenever someone wants seems foolish to me. To rely on someone else might come with disappointments. Because if a ferry doesn't go to the island, for whatever reason then it would make it harder, for people to leave, and this is if people want to leave.
