Why live in Etobicoke?

Etobicoke offers residents the best of both worlds. While, historically, it was a part of the City of Toronto, known affectionately as the “west end,” Etobicoke became its own district in 1998. Despite being its own district, that doesn’t change the fact that Etobicoke borders the city, which means you can get to downtown Toronto in less than 15 minutes by car. Plus, residents benefit from the top-notch public transportation systems that Toronto is home to. Beyond its former status as part of Toronto, Etobicoke is known for its rich Indigenous history, plethora of green spaces, family-friendly neighbourhoods, and accessibility. These features are hard to find in a part of the Greater Toronto Area that is so close to the downtown core, and yet, Etobicoke has them all. As mentioned, the area’s many parks and gardens are a huge draw, and they include Centennial Park (which contains the Centennial Park Conservatory), James Gardens, Marie Curtis Park, Humber Bay Park East, Etobicoke Valley Park, and the Humber Arboretum. This gives locals a chance to stroll through picturesque gardens, have picnics, play sports, or enjoy a nature-filled hike without leaving the district of Etobicoke. Golf courses also abound here, like Humber Valley Golf Course, Royal Woodbine Golf Club, Centennial Park Golf Centre, Scarlett Woods Golf Course, and Islington Golf Club, among others. If the outdoors aren’t really your thing, you’ll love the many shopping and dining options that Etobicoke offers. For instance, the city is home to one of the top shopping malls in the GTA, Sherway Gardens, as well as Cloverdale Mall, the Westway Centre, and multiple SmartCentres plazas. You can also find lots of shopping centres in the Islington - City Centre West neighbourhood, which has become the main commercial hub of the region. Meanwhile, due to Etobicoke’s diverse population, you will find all types of cuisine and eateries here, ranging from pizzerias and schnitzel houses to diners, Indian restaurants, Middle Eastern restaurants, and breweries, such as Great Lakes Brewery. Another attraction worth checking out in Etobicoke is the historic Montongery’s Inn, which dates back to the 1930s. The Inn has a museum, tea room, pub, and even hosts a farmers’ market each week.

Meanwhile, opportunities for private education also abound here, with options like Blyth Academy Etobicoke, Olivet School, Kingsway College School, Penguin Private School, and Vincent Massey Academy. As for post-secondary schools, Etobicoke is home to Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber. However, given how close it is to the City of Toronto, and the rest of the GTA, there are many other universities and colleges that are easily accessible, These include the University of Toronto - St. George Campus, the University of Toronto - Mississauga Campus, Sheridan College, George Brown College, York University, Seneca College, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), Humber College, Toronto Film School, and the Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCAD).

Quality of infrastructure for Etobicoke

Depending on where you live in Etobicoke, it can take ten minutes or less to reach the airport by car. However, if you prefer to fly out of John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport or Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, you have the option of doing so, both of which are less than 30 minutes by car from Etobicoke. Beyond air travel, both the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and GO Transit system operate in Etobicoke, offering a range of bus, subway, train, and streetcar options to residents. Kipling, Royal York, and Islington are the three main subway stops in Etobicoke, which quickly connect residents with downtown Toronto. Meanwhile, GO Transit can take passengers directly to Toronto Union Station or to many other parts of the Greater Toronto Area. If you prefer to get around by car, Etobicoke residents have easy access to many of the province’s largest highways, like the Gardiner Expressway, Highway 401, Highway 403, Highway 407, Highway 410, Highway 427, and the Queen Elizabeth Way.

Etobicoke property market

Since Etobicoke offers residents a unique blend of urban and suburban living, buyers will find quite a few property types here. While some neighbourhoods are more catered to families, which means larger numbers of townhouses and single-family homes, others are well-suited to young professionals and seniors who want smaller spaces, like condos and apartments. As a result, you will find a wide variety of properties for sale here, including semi-detached homes, fully-detached homes, bungalows, condos, apartments, townhouses, duplexes, and more.

Standard of living in Etobicoke

Etobicoke’s standard of living is very high. Despite its history as part of the City of Toronto and its proximity to the downtown core, Etobicoke has retained a small town, residential feel that many people love. Plus, it's accessible via public transit, is more affordable than other parts of the city, and has all kinds of urban amenities, like shops, golf courses, parks, and restaurants, for residents to take advantage of. If you still aren’t convinced of the high quality of life that Etobicoke offers, consider that Toronto recently earned the ninth spot in The Global Liveability Index 2023’s Liveability Report. It was ranked the ninth most liveable city in the whole world based on factors like education, stability, healthcare, and culture & the environment.

Something wonderful about Etobicoke

The name Etobicoke is believed to have been derived from the Ojibwa word “wadoopikaang," which means “a place where alder trees grow.” Thus, Etobicoke is a nod to the trees that inhabit the land there. Although alder trees are now few and far between in Southwestern Ontario, they were one of the most common trees in the area now known as Etobicoke prior to European settlements in the 1700s.
