The best value read is not the lowest value context. It is the street where the residential quality signal stays strong while the value context is not wildly above the Old North middle. On that basis, Regent St, Christie St, Waterloo St, Victoria St, Cromwell St, and Clenray Pl are the most useful starting points.
Renwick Ave is the strongest overall street in the current core score, but it also carries one of the higher value-context readings. That makes it a premium answer more than a value answer.
For value, I would look for streets that stay near the top of the score table while still giving a buyer more address depth, more listing chances, or a value context closer to the Old North median.
Value-balanced Old North candidates
Core street score shown on a 0 to 100 scaleStreet shortlist
Regent St
Regent St is the cleanest practical value answer because it scores like a top Old North street but has enough address depth to matter. A tiny street can look great in data and rarely trade. Regent gives you more chances.
Christie St
Christie St is strong without looking inflated by only the highest-value context. It has very high ownership context and the highest household-income context in the top group.
Waterloo St
Waterloo St gives a buyer a real Old North sample size and a value context close to the neighbourhood median. It is not the quietest read, but it is one of the most useful comparison streets.
Victoria St
Victoria St is not the very top score, but its address depth is useful. It is a better value-hunting street than a short pocket where one or two listings can define the whole market.
Cromwell St
Cromwell is more of a compact Old North candidate. It still reads strong, but with a lower ownership signal than Christie or Clenray. That can make it worth watching rather than blindly ranking it above everything else.
Clenray Pl
Clenray Pl is a private-pocket value candidate. The catch is sample size. It can be excellent if the right house appears, but it will not give buyers the same steady opportunity as Regent, Waterloo, or Victoria.

What value means here
This is a relative street-context read, not an appraisal. A street can be expensive and still be good value if the residential fabric, owner context, and income context are unusually strong.
\nThe mistake is to sort only by price. In Old North, the better value lens is quality per dollar of local value context, plus how likely it is that a buyer will actually find a house on the street.
\nWhere I would start
For a real buyer, I would start with Regent, Waterloo, and Victoria because they have address depth. Then I would watch Christie, Cromwell, and Clenray for more specific property-level opportunities.
\nRenwick and Sherwood are still excellent, but this value-focused read treats them as stronger premium streets rather than the first place to look for relative value.
\nIf someone says they want Old North but does not want to overpay for only the most obvious premium pocket, Regent St is probably the first street I would study, followed by Waterloo, Victoria, and Christie.
