Etobicoke neighbourhood guide
Islington Village
Historic village character and mural-lined streets near Line 2, with detached pockets beside a growing mix of apartments and condominiums.
Housing character
Detached homes include older cottages, bungalows, two-storeys and renovated properties. Housing changes quickly near Bloor, Dundas and the subway stations.
Getting around
Islington and Kipling stations provide Line 2 access, with regional bus and GO connections at Kipling. Major roads are also close by.
Setting and amenities
Village shops, historic murals and nearby parks create a more urban, walkable environment than many interior Etobicoke communities.
Worth knowing
Ongoing development can change views, traffic and the surrounding streetscape. Buyers should compare the quieter residential pockets with sites closer to major corridors.
Boundary note: Local village area within Etobicoke City Centre. Familiar local names, real estate search areas and City statistical boundaries do not always match exactly.
