Islington Village
Etobicoke’s mural village — heritage main street character on Dundas West, with subway access and family streets behind it.
Living in Islington Village
Islington Village is best known for its murals — dozens of large-scale paintings along Dundas Street West telling the area’s history. It gives the strip a personality that most Toronto suburbs simply don’t have.
Behind the main street sit quiet residential blocks of solid postwar and mid-century homes, many now renovated. It’s a genuine neighbourhood-with-a-centre: you can walk to a bakery, a restaurant, a dentist and a coffee shop, then be on the subway in minutes.
That combination — walkable village, subway on Line 2, family housing, and the tower cluster of Islington–City Centre next door — makes it one of Etobicoke’s most practical places to live.
Homes & prices
A mix of detached and semi-detached postwar homes on the residential streets, low-rise apartments and boutique buildings near Dundas, and the high-rise condo cluster of Islington–City Centre immediately south. Buyers can choose between a house in a walkable pocket or a condo steps from the subway, at prices below comparable options closer to downtown.

Subway access
Islington and Kipling stations on Line 2 put downtown within a straightforward ride — a rarity for a neighbourhood with this much village character.
Walkability
Dundas West offers everyday amenities on foot: groceries, cafes, restaurants and services, plus the murals that give the area its identity.
Two markets
Freehold homes behind the strip and condos in the adjacent tower cluster behave differently — know which one you’re shopping.
