About Etobicoke Real Estate
Independent shops, quaint boutiques, charming restaurants, and specialty stores are characteristic of Etobicoke. Most of the neighbourhoods in this area were designed with families in mind, so schools, grocers, bakeries, coffee shops, delis, professional offices, and other amenities are found throughout every enclave. The communities of Long Branch, New Toronto, and Mimico offer waterfront living with quick access to Toronto’s West End, and Downtown.
Does Etobicoke Have Good Parks?
Etobicoke is home to many outdoor recreational spaces and natural attractions, including:
- Colonel Samuel Smith Park (where the Lakeshore Yacht Club is located)
- Marie Curtis Park (where Toronto Waterfront Trail and Etobicoke Creek Trail connect)
- Long Branch Park (where the Lakeshore Summer Concert Series takes place).
The Humber River winds throughout this neighbourhood, flanked by a number of green spaces including West Humber Parkland, Humber Sheppard Park, Humber Arboretum, and Humber Valley Golf Course. Aside from active outdoor lifestyles, residents in Etobicoke also have strong community pride, and regularly attend events like Lakeshore Community Festival, Etobicoke-Lakeshore Christmas Parade, and the Mimico Festival.
Transit riders are able to catch the Go Train, TTC buses and subways, and connect to the Mississauga transit system and reach Pearson International Airport through Islington station. Etobicoke is less than 20 minutes from the airport by car, and those in the Eatonville enclave have direct access to Highway 427.
