Kingsview Village-The Westway, Toronto

Kingsview Village-The Westway is a residential area in Etobicoke, in the west of Toronto, where apartment buildings, townhouses and detached houses sit close together and are linked by small parks. Its streets combine through roads with shorter residential streets and cul-de-sacs, and apartment towers stand alongside lower-rise housing. Density is moderate to high. Most buildings date from the postwar decades through the 1980s, so the housing stock is mid-century and later in style. Condo apartments made up 51% of the 211 homes sold in the last 24 months, detached houses 38% and condo townhouses 7%. Most of these homes were built between 1951 and 1985, and the typical home sold had 3 bedrooms. The median sale price over that period was $800,000, and the median home took 26 days to sell. There are currently 14 homes for sale. For getting around, the area has no train or subway stations of its own. Travel relies on major roads such as Eglinton Avenue West, Kipling Avenue and Martin Grove Road, and on nearby Highway 427 and Highway 401 for longer trips by car. TTC bus routes run along the main roads and connect to the wider transit network. Shops and services are of the everyday kind. Nearby you can find grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes and restaurants, mostly along the main roads and in plazas at their edges rather than on the interior residential streets. Green space is spread across the area. The parks inside it are Alex Marchetti Park, Blackfriar Park, Dixon Park, Dunstable Place Dul-De-Sac, Islington Place Park, Kingsview Park and Wincott Park. Seven schools are located inside the area. The Toronto District School Board runs Kingsview Village Junior School, School of Experiential Education, Valleyfield Junior School and Westway Junior School. The Toronto Catholic District School Board runs Dante Alighieri Academy, St Eugene Catholic School and St Maurice Catholic School.
