Etobicoke stretches from the lake to Steeles along Toronto’s western edge. The south is the story buyers know: Humber Bay Shores towers with skyline views, the Mimico and Long Branch cottages-turned-family-homes, and the waterfront trail linking them. Mid-Etobicoke is The Kingsway, Princess-Rosethorn and Edenbridge, where stone and brick homes sit on treed lots near Old Mill and Royal York stations.
North of the 401, Rexdale and the Humber College area offer townhomes and bungalows at lower price points and the shortest drive to Pearson. Highway 427 and the QEW make Etobicoke the easiest part of Toronto for anyone commuting west to Mississauga or Oakville.
