LOCATION & NEIGHBOURHOOD
Islington-City Centre West Neighborhood
This neighbourhood covers a large piece of Etobicoke, highlighting the dual urban/suburban dynamic that makes this area so great. The rich nineteenth century agricultural roots of the area can be explored in the old Village of Islington, with plenty of spectacular murals and historic buildings to be found. Much of the rest of the neighbourhood is reflective of Etobicoke’s rapid development as a post-war suburban area. Great local businesses can be found in the Village of Islington and Shop the Queensway BIAs.
