Neighbourhood guide  /  Etobicoke

Thistletown

One of the oldest settlements in Etobicoke, on the Humber at the city’s northwest edge.

Thistletown is among the oldest settlements in this part of the city, established as a village on the Humber long before Etobicoke was suburban, and a handful of nineteenth-century buildings survive around the old crossroads. The housing today is predominantly postwar — bungalows and two-storey detached homes on generous lots — with the Humber River valley and its parkland running along the eastern side. It is quiet, green and well removed from the density of the city, with prices reflecting that distance. Access is by car or bus; there is no rapid transit nearby.

Housing stock

Postwar detached houses and bungalows on large lots; some heritage buildings near the old village.

Who buys here

Families, buyers seeking lot size at a lower price point, and established local households.

Transit

The 73 Royal York and 96 Wilson buses; the Finch West LRT to the north.

Worth checking

River-adjacent lots carry conservation restrictions and flood considerations. Confirm before you buy.
