Neighbourhood guide  /  Etobicoke

Rexdale

A large, diverse area in northwest Etobicoke with postwar houses and apartment clusters.

Rexdale is a broad area in the northwest corner of the city, developed largely in the fifties and sixties, and it is one of the most culturally diverse parts of Toronto — with commercial strips reflecting large South Asian, Caribbean and West African communities. Housing is mixed: postwar detached houses and bungalows on quiet residential streets, and substantial clusters of rental apartment towers along the arterials. It has historically offered some of the most affordable freehold housing in the city. Woodbine Racetrack and the airport lands are major employers nearby.

Housing stock

Postwar detached houses and bungalows; large rental and condominium apartment clusters.

Who buys here

First-time house buyers, families, investors, and long-established local households.

Transit

The 36 Finch West and 52 Lawrence West buses; the Finch West LRT serves the northern edge.

Worth checking

The area is large and varies considerably. Judge the specific pocket rather than the name.
