Mimico

A former lakeside village with older housing stock and a GO station.

Mimico was an independent town before amalgamation and it still has the bones of one — a small main street on Lake Shore Boulevard, older housing on a compact grid, and a genuine relationship with the water. The stock is varied and generally modest: interwar and postwar detached and semi-detached houses, many on small lots, alongside newer infill and the condominium development pushing west from Humber Bay. Mimico GO puts Union Station within about fifteen minutes, which is the single strongest argument for the neighbourhood and increasingly reflected in prices.

Housing stock

Interwar and postwar detached and semi-detached houses; newer condominiums near the lake.

Who buys here

Families, first-time house buyers, and commuters who use the GO line.

Transit

Mimico GO on the Lakeshore West line; the 501 Queen streetcar and 76 Royal York bus.

Worth checking

Housing quality varies sharply street to street. Inspect thoroughly rather than assuming.
