North Ridge Home Styles: A Buyer's Guide to ST2s, BUNGs & More
North Ridge has a clear identity: it's a two-storey neighbourhood. Of 1,453 sales since 2010, 1,050 were two-storey homes. That's 72% of the market. If you want a bungalow or a condo, look elsewhere. If you want a family-sized two-storey, this is your neighbourhood.
The Style Breakdown
| Style | Sales (2010–2026) | Share | Typical Price Range |

| Two-Storey (ST2) | 1,050 | 72.3% | $400K – $900K |
| Bungalow (BUNG) | 206 | 14.2% | $350K – $650K |
| 2 Storey (other) | 104 | 7.2% | $450K – $800K |
| Other | 93 | 6.4% | Varies |
Two-Storey (ST2): The North Ridge Standard
The two-storey is what North Ridge is known for. These homes typically offer:
- 1,800–2,400 sq ft of living space
- 3–4 bedrooms upstairs, main-floor living areas
- Double attached garages — nearly universal at newer builds
- Full basements — often developed into rec rooms, offices, or guest suites
- 8,000–10,000 sq ft lots — room for backyards, decks, and kids
The two-storey dominance tells you who lives here: families. Parents want bedrooms on a separate floor from the living space. Kids want yards. Everyone wants storage.
Bungalow (BUNG): The Aging-in-Place Option
At 14.2% of sales, bungalows are a minority but a meaningful one. These buyers are typically:
- Empty-nesters downsizing from larger two-storeys
- Retirees who want single-level living
- Mobility-conscious buyers who want to avoid stairs long-term
Bungalows in North Ridge tend to be older — many from the 1980s and 1990s — but well-maintained. Prices run slightly below two-storeys at comparable sizes, but the gap is narrowing as aging-in-place demand grows.
2 Storey (Other): Variations on the Theme
The remaining 7.2% includes modified two-storeys, split-levels, and other designs that don't fit the standard ST2 category. These often offer unique floor plans — front-drive models, walkouts, or homes with main-floor master suites.
What This Means for Your Search
If you're a family buyer: North Ridge is purpose-built for you. The two-storey inventory is deep, varied, and consistently available.
If you're a downsizer: Bungalows are limited but present. Be prepared to act fast when one hits the market — they don't linger.
If you want a condo or apartment: North Ridge is not your neighbourhood. The data shows virtually zero multi-family sales here.
