Etobicoke West Mall, Toronto

Etobicoke West Mall is a residential area in western Toronto where apartment buildings and condo complexes sit alongside stretches of detached houses. Streets are a mix of the long north-south West Mall corridor and shorter local roads and crescents that branch off it. Density is moderate to high, with mid-rise and high-rise buildings close to the main road and lower-rise housing set back from it. Most homes sold were built between 1951 and 2018, so the buildings range from mid-century construction to recent developments. Of the 114 homes sold in the last 24 months, condo apartments made up 54%, detached houses 26% and condo townhouses 11%. The typical home sold had 2 bedrooms. The median sale price over that time was $562,500, and the median time on the market was 29 days. Right now 3 homes are for sale. For getting around, West Mall itself is the main north-south route through the area. Highway 427 and Highway 401 are nearby, and Burnhamthorpe Road and Eglinton Avenue West are major east-west roads close by. TTC bus routes run along West Mall and the connecting roads. They link to the wider network, including the Line 2 subway to the south. No train or subway stations are inside the area. Shops and services are of the everyday kind. Nearby you will find grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and pharmacies, mostly along the main roads and around the larger residential complexes. Four parks are inside the area: Broadacres Park, Carsbrooke Park, Dennis Flynn Park and West Mall Outdoor Artifical Ice Rink. They add open green space and an outdoor rink to an area that is otherwise mostly built up. Two schools are inside the area: Broadacres Junior Public School and Eatonville Junior School. Both belong to the Toronto District School Board.
