The website ranked neighbourhoods based on average home value and household income. While Vancouver has two neighbourhoods on the list, and Victoria gets one, Toronto, with three entries, apparently is home to Canada's poshest digs.
One of the list's surprises is that Winnipeg - not considered a particularly monied town - squeaks in at No. 10. The aptly named Tuxedo neighbourhood, a well-established area a few minutes from downtown with lakeside views and lots of green, has seen average selling prices jump to $500,000 from $383,000 in six years.
Still a bargain if you live in Vancouver, where that'll get you a modest condo.
And for a city swimming in oil wealth, it's also surprising Calgary gets only one entry: Upper Mount Royal at No. 9. Like Tuxedo, it's an older treed neighbourhood of homes near the Elbow River overlooking downtown with homes selling for upwards of $1.6 million.
B.C.'s jewel-like capital, Victoria, hits at No. 7 with The Uplands, in the municipality of Oak Bay. The century-old neighbourhood looking across Juan de Fuca Strait to Washington State boasts waterfront homes selling well into six figures. Askmen notes the 2.4-acre "Sweet Pea" ocean-front estate is worth $28.5 million.
West Vancouver, a tony suburb across Burrard Inlet from downtown Vancouver, is considered one of Canada's richest postal codes and that's reflected in the price of homes that climb up from the water's edge. More than 70 per cent of the city's 11,000 homes are worth more than $1 million.
Vancouver's Shaughnessy neighbourhood comes in at No. 6. Developed more than a century ago on CP Rail land, the district just south of downtown has always been an enclave for the wealthy. Homes on sprawling lots run from $3.5 million to $11 million.
Ottawa's Rockliffe Park, across the Ottawa River from downtown, traditionally is home to the capital's diplomatic corps and its political and business elite. Homes that sold for around $200,000 a decade ago now command prices of more than $1 million in Canada's fifth-richest neighbourhood.
Toronto's Forest Hill is ranked No. 4. It's origins go back to 1860 as a summer retreat from the city and Askmen.com says it still retains its "natural beauty and highbrow architecture." The typical Forest Hill house today goes for just over $1 million.
The Bridle Path neighbourhood, No. 3, is one of Toronto's best known posh addresses. Like the name suggests, it's green and peaceful, surrounded by parkland. The average home selling price is well above $2 million. The Bridle Path has been home to big names like TV executive Moses Znaimer, pop star Prince and disgraced newspaper baron Conrad Black, though he's not likely to be living there again anytime soon.
Westmount, No. 2, long has been one of Montreal's exclusive neighbourhoods. In the late 1800s it was an enclave for Quebec's anglophone elite and it's still primarily English-speaking, though more multi-cultural. What hasn't changed is that the homes are relatively expensive, averaging around $1 million.
Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood tops Askmen.com's list of Canada's richest.
It dates to the 1860s and features Tudor and Georgian-style homes much coveted by Toronto's upwardly mobile. Besides being protected by parkland and ravines, residents benefit from barriers and specialized routes to cut down on traffic. Even six years ago, Rosedale home sales averaged $2 million.

제가 살다온 위니펙의 퍽시도 잘 압니다.저희집에서 5분가면 나오는 거리이므로,
평균수치이므로 그러하고,
6년전의 27만 집이 현재 58만 이구요.-신흥 턱시도(위에 내용에 나오는 턱시도와 다른 곳)
기사에 나온 곳의 턱시도 집값은 보통이 평균이 100만이상입니다.
물론 밴쿠버에 비하면야 규모면 대비 가격은 아주 싸죠.ㅎㅎ
아주 깔끔하고 조용하고 넓은 집들이죠.
한국분들도 사시고, 보통 00 사 님들이 사십니다.
캐나다 전체에서 2번째로 평균주택가가 싼곳이 마니토바주 이더라구요.
그래도 10위 안에 들었네요.ㅎㅎ
내용 잘 보았습니다.
토론토지역에선 로즈데일이 한국의 강남과 비슷하군요.
저희 동네도 등수에 들었네요.(동네만..) 장사를 하려면 중국인들 속으로 들어가야 하고 좀 조용히 살려면 중국인들 없는 곳을 찾아야 할 것 같아요. 전혀 예상치 못했던 변수들이 신흥 중국인 들이 몰리면서 발생 하거든요. 주변 국가 경제 상황이나 베이비붐어 세대가 끝나가는 마당에 부동산이 더블업이 되는 것은 이해하기 힘들지요.
아이들 학교 마치면 조용하고 쌈지막한 곳으로 옮기고 많이 돌아다닐 계획입니다.

토론토에 가면 일삼아 한번 가봐야겠네요.^^*
