Etobicoke is Toronto's westernmost district, covering the W01 through W10 postal districts along Lake Ontario from the city's downtown core out to Pearson Airport and the Mississauga border. It combines established lakefront neighbourhoods, a deep condo corridor along the Humber Bay waterfront, and mature suburban pockets further north and west.

Etobicoke has the deepest condo inventory of any Toronto district outside the downtown core, driven largely by the Humber Bay Shores waterfront towers. Its detached median runs above Scarborough's but below North York's, reflecting a mix of established mid-priced neighbourhoods and a smaller number of premium lakefront and ravine properties.
Etobicoke's Neighbourhoods, by Buyer Type
Humber Bay Shores
Etobicoke's high-rise waterfront condo cluster along Lake Ontario, popular with downtown commuters for its lakefront trail and proximity to the Gardiner Expressway.
The Kingsway
One of Etobicoke's most established, higher-end detached neighbourhoods, known for its tree-lined streets and heritage homes near the Old Mill.
Mimico
A former separate village now part of Etobicoke, mixing older low-rise homes with newer waterfront condo development and GO Transit access.
Getting Around: Subway, GO Transit, and the Airport
Etobicoke is served by the Line 2 subway (Islington, Kipling, and Royal York stations) and by Lakeshore West GO stations including Mimico and Long Branch. Its proximity to Pearson Airport and the intersection of the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 427 also make it a practical base for buyers who commute by car or travel frequently.
Land Transfer Tax in Etobicoke
Because Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, buyers here pay both the provincial Ontario Land Transfer Tax and the additional Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax — unlike most 905-area GTA cities, which charge only the provincial tax. First-time buyers can offset this: combined provincial and Toronto rebates can total up to $8,475. See our Ontario land transfer tax guide for the full calculation.
Financing an Etobicoke Purchase
Etobicoke's condo median, around $563,000, keeps mortgage insurance available for buyers putting down less than 20% (insured mortgages are available up to a $1.5 million purchase price). Etobicoke's detached median, near $1.32 million, generally still qualifies for insurance, though buyers close to that threshold should confirm their specific purchase price against the cap. See how mortgage pre-approval works before house-hunting.
