Islington sits at the geographic heart of Etobicoke — Bloor and Islington, the Line 2 subway, and the Islington–City Centre West district (TRREB W08). It is one of those rare pockets that works for almost everyone: condo towers for the commuter, semis and detached homes on established family streets, and a village main street with real character.
We have bought and sold here across property types — condos, semis, detached homes. If you are buying or selling in Islington, that range matters: the pricing logic for a tower suite and a family street could not be more different.

The streets and buildings that define it
Islington station & the Bloor line
The transit anchor. Line 2 puts downtown about half an hour away, and the bus terminal connects the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Islington Village
Toronto’s "Village of Murals" — some 25 murals across five blocks of Dundas West, plus Montgomery’s Inn, local shops, and the BIA main street.
The condo corridor
Towers cluster around Islington–City Centre West — including One Valhalla at 1 Valhalla Inn Road — drawing commuters who want the subway without downtown prices.
Family streets
Detached and semi-detached homes on established streets like Cronin Drive and Laurel Avenue — the streets where Etobicoke families put down roots.
Mimico Creek & green space
The creek winds through the area with trails and parkland, and the Islington Golf Club sits just south — rare breathing room this close to the subway.

Questions we hear
What kinds of homes are in Islington?
The full spread: condo towers around Islington–City Centre West, semis and detached homes on established family streets, and townhome pockets in between. The condo and the house markets here behave like two different markets.
How is the commute from Islington?
Islington station on Line 2 is the anchor — roughly half an hour downtown. Drivers get the 427, the Gardiner, and the 401 without much fuss.
What is Islington Village?
The historic main street on Dundas West between Islington and Kipling — known as Toronto’s Village of Murals, with some 25 murals, Montgomery’s Inn, and a proper BIA main street.
Is Islington good for families?
Very. Established streets, schools, parks, and the creek trails — plus the subway for the commute. It is one of Etobicoke’s most settled family pockets.
What should buyers and sellers watch in Islington?
Know which Islington you are pricing: tower condos trade on fees, floor, and view; family streets trade on lot, condition, and street. Mixing up the two is the most common pricing mistake here.
