Mimico is a good place to live if you want the waterfront, a GO station and a village-style main street on Lake Shore at lower prices than many central lakeside areas. Trade-offs include older housing stock, rail and road noise near the corridor, and ongoing construction. In August 2026, W06 detached homes averaged $1,371,688 and condo apartments $642,661.
The pros
- Mimico GO on the Lakeshore West line for a quick trip downtown.
- Waterfront parks and trails nearby, including Humber Bay Park.
- Village feel along Lake Shore Boulevard West.
- Housing choice: detached and semi-detached homes, low-rise apartments and new condos.
- 501 streetcar along Lake Shore.
The cons
- Older homes can need updates to wiring, plumbing and basements.
- Noise near the rail corridor and Gardiner.
- Construction from new projects. See Mimico pre-construction.
- Floodplain checks near Mimico Creek.
