Overview
Etobicoke, located just East of Toronto, is bordered by three natural water barriers - Lake Ontario to the South, the Humber River to the East and Etobicoke Creek to the West with Steeles Avenue marking its Northern tip.
Like downtown Toronto real estate, there are a ton of different neighborhoods in Etobicoke, each with their own unique characteristics and property price points including the coveted Kingsway with its large, classically-styled executive family homes in the seven figures, Rexdale, with much more modestly priced homes, popular with new Canadians, next to the West Humber parklands and Mimico, a vibrant condo and starter-home community near the waterfront. Etobicoke homes for sale offer a little of everything - it's just a matter of exploring the neighbourhoods and finding which is the right fit for you.
Best For
The name "Etobicoke" stems from the First Nations' word meaning "the place where alders grow" and you will quickly see why as the region is well-known for its natural beauty. There are a ton of great parks, paths, gardens and even waterfalls that are a hit with locals and visitors. If you like to lead an active lifestyle, Etobicoke is also well-known for its quality and number of sporting facilities including yacht clubs, tennis clubs, lacrosse teams, hockey arenas and skating rinks.
Why We Love East York
Etobicoke real estate is becoming increasingly popular with young families as many pockets offer greater affordability than central Toronto. Etobicoke has all of the features of great urban living - a sense of community, access to public transit as well as top-notch recreational facilities, plenty of green spaces and a developing waterfront that is currently undergoing a massive transformation spurred by all of those new south Etobicoke condos.
