Islington, Toronto

Islington is an Etobicoke neighbourhood in Toronto where condo apartment buildings and detached houses sit side by side on a mix of through streets and quieter residential streets. Apartment buildings give the area a moderate to high density in places, while the streets between them are lined with detached houses. Most homes sold in the last 24 months were built between 1985 and 2023, so the housing stock is fairly recent. Condo apartments made up 48% of the 320 homes sold in the last 24 months, and detached houses made up 43%. The typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price over that period was $880,000, and the median time on the market was 22 days. There are currently 23 homes for sale. For getting around, the area has no train or subway stations inside its boundaries. Bloor Street West, Islington Avenue and Burnhamthorpe Road are the main roads nearby, and Highway 427 gives road access to the wider city and region. Toronto Transit Commission bus routes run along the main roads, and the Line 2 subway is close by. Everyday shops and services are found mostly along the main roads and around the apartment buildings. They include grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and pharmacies, along with other basic services. Eight parks are inside the area: Capri Park, Cloverdale Park, Cronin Park, East Mall Park, Echo Valley Park, Glen Park, Greenfield Park and Hampshire Heights Park.
