Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026. District W06 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Long Branch and New Toronto; it is wider than the neighbourhood itself, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote for any one building.
Across the GTA, average condo rents were still below a year earlier in Q2 2026 — one-bedrooms down 2.3% and two-bedrooms down 1.7% — with 27,844 units listed for rent against 21,251 leased. TRREB says conditions still favour renters, which means there is usually room to negotiate on start date, parking or a longer term.

Living in Long Branch and New Toronto as a renter
Former industrial town (New Toronto) and lakeside village (Long Branch) now mostly single-family homes, low-rise apartments and a low-rise Lake Shore commercial strip, gradually adding mid-rise condos and townhomes. Condo stock is thin and mostly small or mid-size buildings.
| Long Branch and New Toronto in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | The western lakeshore of Etobicoke along Lake Shore Blvd W: New Toronto roughly from Dwight Ave west to Twenty-Third St (lake to the CN rail line), and Long Branch west from there to Etobicoke Creek / the Mississauga border. |
| Transit | Long Branch GO station (Lakeshore West line) at the west end. Lake Shore Blvd W streetcar (TTC 507 Long Branch by day between Humber Loop and Long Branch Loop; 501 Queen extends west late evenings) — routings have changed repeatedly during track work, check ttc.ca, terminating at Long Branch Loop. 44 Kipling South bus to Kipling station on Line 2. MiWay buses connect at Long Branch. New Toronto itself has no GO station. |
| Everyday life | Lake Shore Blvd W main-street shops; Colonel Samuel Smith Park and Marie Curtis Park on the waterfront; Humber College Lakeshore Campus; Waterfront Trail. |
| Official City neighbourhood | New Toronto (18) and Long Branch (19) |
Things renters in Long Branch and New Toronto should know
- Long Branch GO gives a direct rail trip downtown; the streetcar is slow for commuting from this far west.
- Condo apartment supply is limited — much of the 'condo' inventory here is stacked or urban townhomes — so availability in any one building can be sparse.
- Humber College Lakeshore Campus creates rental demand from students and staff in New Toronto.
Before you sign a condo lease
- Use the Ontario Standard Lease. Landlords of most private rental units, condos included, must use the province’s standard lease template for new leases.
- Deposits are capped. A landlord can ask for a rent deposit of no more than one month’s rent, and it must go toward your last month. Damage deposits are not allowed; a key or fob deposit must be refundable. See Ontario rental deposit rules.
- Check the rent-control date. The annual guideline (2.1% for 2026, 1.9% for 2027) does not apply to units first occupied as residences after 15 November 2018. Ask when the building was first occupied — in newer towers your increases are negotiable, not capped.
- Get utilities in writing. Newer towers usually meter hydro separately; many older buildings include it in the condo fee. It can be a real monthly difference.
- Read the condo rules. Tenants must follow the corporation’s declaration and rules — pets, move-in bookings, elevator deposits and short-term rental bans all live there.
The takeaway
In Long Branch and New Toronto, Aquaview and Lakeshore Park Estates I are where I would start, but the right building depends on your commute and whether you want amenities or square footage. Compare the all-in monthly cost — rent, hydro, parking, locker — not the headline rent, and remember that in Q2 2026 renters, not landlords, had the upper hand across the GTA.
