London, Ontario
Old South had a population of 422,324, a median household income of $76,500, 58% of households owning their home at the 2021 Census of Population.
Old South is one of London’s most established and walkable inner neighbourhoods, centred on the “Village” strip along Wortley Road. It’s known for early-20th-century housing stock (brick century homes, cottages, and converted duplexes), mature tree canopy, and a strong community feel. Demographics skew toward professionals, families, and downsizers, with steady demand from renters who want character homes close to services rather than newer subdivisions. Inventory is often tight because many owners are long-tenured, which supports pricing but can limit acquisition opportunities.
Key amenities include Wortley Village shops and restaurants, nearby parks and trails (including access toward Thames River pathways and larger green spaces like Springbank Park within a short drive), and quick connectivity to Downtown and major hospital/employment nodes. The area is served by multiple LTC bus routes along major corridors (e.g., Wharncliffe and Wellington), and it’s a reasonable commute to Western and Fanshawe by transit with a transfer. Schools are generally a draw for end-user buyers, and that owner-occupant appeal tends to keep turnover low and renovations highly valued. From an investment standpoint, rents are solid but purchase prices are also premium for London, so yields tend to be moderate; the best-performing strategies are legal duplex/triplex conversions, well-finished secondary suites, or buying dated homes with value-add potential while staying within heritage/streetscape expectations.
Limited live market data is available for Old South right now, with too few active listings to reliably report current asking price levels or days on market. For buyers and investors, this low-visibility snapshot suggests monitoring new listings closely and using recent comparable activity and micro-location factors within Old South to gauge pricing and negotiation leverage as inventory appears.
