Line 2 runs from 5:35 a.m. to 2:20 a.m. on weekdays and you board at the terminus; the Milton-line GO station is rush-hour only, and MiWay uses the bus terminal next door. There are 1,067 TTC commuter parking spaces at published rates, three elevators, and a 20-to-25-minute express bus to Pearson. The walkable neighbourhoods are Etobicoke City Centre and the Six Points lands, Islington village, and western Kingsway South. Roughly 8,700 homes are approved or recommended nearby, plus a civic centre due in 2028. In July 2026 TRREB’s W08 district recorded 119 sales at an average of $1,086,767; the apartment benchmark was $520,400.
Kipling is the only place in Etobicoke where three transit systems meet under one roof: the western terminus of the TTC’s Line 2 subway, a GO station on the Milton line, and a bus terminal used by MiWay and GO buses. It is also, since the Six Points interchange was torn out and rebuilt, the centre of the largest planned change in the borough — a new civic centre, thousands of homes on former City land, and a 5,500-unit redevelopment of Cloverdale Mall a short bus ride away. This page gives you what the TTC, GO Transit, Metrolinx, the City of Toronto and the applicants have actually published, with dates, and then works through the neighbourhoods a Kipling commuter can realistically live in.
Three systems, one address
| TTC Kipling Station (Line 2) | Kipling GO (Milton line) | Kipling Bus Terminal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Address | 950 Kipling Avenue, at Dundas St W and Aukland Rd | 27 St. Albans Road | 120 Subway Crescent |
| What runs | Line 2 Bloor–Danforth subway, western terminus; 12 bus routes | Weekday rush-hour trains only: eastbound mornings, westbound afternoons (Metrolinx) | MiWay routes relocated from Islington on 4 January 2021; GO bus service |
| Hours | Trains weekdays 5:35 a.m.–2:20 a.m.; Saturday 5:40 a.m.–2:20 a.m.; Sunday 7:50 a.m.–2:20 a.m. | Staffed Mon–Fri 06:00–12:30; unstaffed weekends | Staffed Mon–Fri 06:00–12:30 |
| Accessibility | Yes; three elevators. Barrier-free access to the subway platform is via the bus platform level | “Accessible train and bus service,” elevators, washroom, waiting room, Wi-Fi (GO facilities page) | Accessible terminal building with washrooms; pedestrian bridge over the tracks with elevators (City of Mississauga) |
| Parking | North Lot (5285 Dundas W): 238 spaces, $7 weekdays 5 a.m.–2 a.m., $2 after 3 p.m.; South Lot (400 Munster Ave): 829 spaces incl. 24 accessible, $6 weekdays; free weekends and holidays | “Free customer parking is not available at this station” | — |
| Bikes | Covered and uncovered parking at several entrances; secure lockers at the Subway Crescent pick-up entrance | No racks at the GO station; bikes allowed on the train | Open bike parking and secure lockers (Metrolinx) |
| Source | TTC Kipling Station page, 2026 | GO Transit station details and facilities pages, 2026 | Metrolinx, 14 December 2020 and 20 May 2021; City of Mississauga, 14 December 2020 |
The three are linked inside: the TTC page describes “an unpaid area Concourse Level passageway to MiWay and GO.” The hub itself was a $73-million Infrastructure Ontario project that reached substantial completion on 29 December 2020; Metrolinx declared it complete on 20 May 2021 with a 26-metre pedestrian bridge, a renovated TTC commuter lot of “over 1,400 parking spots,” a 7.5-metre sound wall and a green roof of roughly 4,500 square metres. (The TTC’s own station page counts 1,067 spaces across the two lots today; I quote both figures because both are published, and the TTC’s is the one you can park in.)
The subway is the commute; the GO train is a bonus
The TTC does not publish a scheduled running time from Kipling to downtown, so I am not going to invent one. What it does publish is that Line 2 runs from Kipling from 5:35 a.m. on weekdays to 2:20 a.m., that the station is the terminus — which means you board an empty train and sit — and that twelve bus routes feed it: 40 Junction-Dundas West, 44 Kipling South, 45 Kipling, 46 Martin Grove, 49 Bloor West, 111 East Mall, 112 West Mall, 123 Sherway, 149 Etobicoke-Bloor, 300 Bloor-Danforth night bus, 900 Airport Express and 927 Highway 27 Express.
The Milton line is a different animal. Metrolinx describes it as “running east in the morning and west in the afternoon,” offering “weekday rush-hour service between Milton and Toronto.” Two rush-hour trips were added on 24 June 2023 and two more from 4 November 2024, but there is no midday, evening or weekend train at Kipling GO. GO Table 21 (effective 25 April 2026, with a new table from 5 and 8 September 2026) is the document to read. For a downtown office commuter it is a faster, quieter alternative on peak trips; for everyone else the subway is the service.
For the airport, the TTC’s 900 Airport Express runs from Kipling Station to Pearson Terminals 1 and 3 with “one-way travel time … approximately 20 to 25 minutes,” from about 5:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday to Saturday, for a single fare; the 300A night bus covers the overnight hours (TTC airport page).
Fares in September 2026
The TTC adult fare is $3.30 with PRESTO, debit or credit, and $3.35 in cash, with a two-hour transfer applied automatically to card payments. At the end of August 2026 the TTC replaced most monthly passes with fare capping: “once you reach 47 eligible TTC fares in a calendar month, the rest of your TTC trips that month are free,” and the cap falls to 40 in 2027. The TTC’s fares page dates the change to 31 August 2026 and its May release to 1 September; either way it is in force now (TTC fares page; TTC news, 5 May 2026). Under Ontario’s One Fare program the TTC or MiWay leg of a trip that includes GO is free on the same card or wallet, within two hours of starting on local transit or three hours of starting on GO (Metrolinx, 5 February 2024). GO’s lower base fare of $3.70 with PRESTO applies to any GO trip of 10 km or less (GO Transit, 13 February 2026).
The neighbourhoods around Kipling
A note on names first, because listings get this wrong. The City of Toronto retired the neighbourhood called “Islington-City Centre West” in its 12 April 2022 redraw. The station now sits at the boundary of Islington (158) and Etobicoke City Centre (159), with Kingsway South (15) to the east, Etobicoke West Mall (13) and Princess-Rosethorn (10) to the west and north-west, and Stonegate-Queensway (16) to the south. The City’s Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan covers “approximately 169 hectares stretching 2.8 kilometres along Dundas and Bloor Streets” and states the intent plainly: “the lands immediately around the Kipling subway station will form a high-density mixed-use neighbourhood.”
1. Etobicoke City Centre (159) and the Six Points lands: the towers
This is the condo district: the buildings along Dundas, Bloor and Kipling from Islington station to the Six Points, and the new blocks on the former Westwood Theatre lands. The interchange reconfiguration — realigning Dundas, extending Bloor, regrading Kipling and removing two 1961 bridges — reached substantial completion in October 2020 and unlocked “18 acres of City-owned land” with three new streets, separated bike lanes and 10,340 m² of new parkland (City of Toronto). If you buy here you are buying into a district that is roughly half built. My guide to the condos near Islington and Kipling, the boutique low-rises and Islington Terrace cover the buildings.
2. Islington (158): the village and the streets north of Dundas
West of Islington Avenue and north of Dundas is the older village core — Islington Junior Middle School was “established in 1832 and is the second oldest elementary school in Toronto” (TDSB) — and behind it, streets of post-war houses and low-rise apartments. It is the part of the station area where a family can still buy a house and walk to a subway. Ten things no one tells you about Islington is the companion piece.
3. Kingsway South (15): east of the station, north of the tracks
The Kingsway proper begins east of Royal York, but Kingsway South as the City draws it reaches west toward Islington station, and its western streets are a walk to Kipling. Detached houses, mostly inter-war and post-war, on the lots that hold their value better than any other part of the borough; TRREB’s W08 detached benchmark of $1,638,600 (July 2026) is driven by these streets. See The Kingsway guide and The Kingsway vs Islington-City Centre.
4. Etobicoke West Mall (13) and Princess-Rosethorn (10): bus to the station
West of Highway 427 and north of Burnhamthorpe the housing is post-war detached and split-level on wide lots, with apartment towers along The West Mall and The East Mall. The 111 East Mall and 112 West Mall buses run to Kipling station. This is where Cloverdale Mall sits, and where the biggest single change on this page is coming. The M9A, M9B and M9C guide covers the houses; One Sherway the condos by the mall.
5. Stonegate-Queensway (16): south to The Queensway
South of the rail corridor, the 44 Kipling South bus runs down to The Queensway and Lake Shore, connecting the Queensway condo corridor and the Stonegate houses to the subway. For a buyer on The Queensway, Kipling is often a better subway than Royal York or Islington because the 44 is a straight line. My Queensway transit guide has the routes.
What is being built: the honest list
| Project | What is approved or proposed | Status and source |
|---|---|---|
| New Etobicoke Civic Centre, 3755 Bloor St W | 508,000+ sq ft: council chamber, library branch, public health clinic, recreation centre, child care, art gallery, retail, civic square | Under construction; concrete at the 9th floor and structural steel under way as of August 2026; completion expected 2028 (City of Toronto, 19 August 2026) |
| Bloor-Kipling transit-oriented community (Westwood lands) | “Approximately 2,700 residential homes,” “at least 900 of which will be affordable rental homes” | First occupancy at 5207 Dundas St W expected Q2 2027; Block 5 seeking a partner (City of Toronto, 16 September 2025) |
| 3725 Bloor St W (Block 3) | 43 storeys (143 m), about 698 rental units, 230 affordable, 5,157 m² non-residential | City-initiated; Decision Report, 30 June 2025 |
| 970 Kipling Ave (Block 5) | Towers of 43 and 28 storeys, about 840 units, 198 affordable, about 1,000 m² retail | Recommended for approval; City report, 23 April 2026 |
| 5280 Dundas St W (Marlin Realty) | 42 storeys (137.8 m), 462 units | Recommended for approval; Decision Report, 2 October 2025 |
| Six Points parks | Etobicoke City Centre Park (about 5,500 m²), Dunkip Park (about 2,210 m²), Six Points Park expansion (about 1,600 m²), Linear Park (about 2,708 m²) | Six Points expansion and Dunkip Park: spring to fall 2027 (City of Toronto) |
| Cloverdale Mall, 250 The East Mall (QuadReal) | 10 tall buildings of 25–41 storeys and 5 mid-rises of 6–12 storeys; about 5,536 units in four phases; 17,176 m² retail; two parks of 5,550 and 8,764 m²; child care | Council adopted 4 February 2026 (Decision Report, 18 December 2025; item 2026.EY28.1) |
| CF Sherway Gardens | 40,000 sq ft T&T Supermarket | Expected to open summer 2027 (Cadillac Fairview, 4 June 2026) |
Counting the Bloor-Kipling blocks once, that is roughly 8,700 approved or recommended homes within a bus ride of the station, plus a civic centre and a rebuilt mall. Two consequences for a buyer. First, resale condos in the Six Points area will compete with a large supply of new rental for the next five years; the 3725 Bloor and Bloor-Kipling blocks are rental, with affordable units, not condo. Second, the neighbourhood amenities — library, recreation centre, parks — are dated 2027 and 2028, not now.
What homes cost: TRREB district W08, July 2026
TRREB’s W08 district takes in Islington, Etobicoke City Centre, Kingsway South, Princess-Rosethorn, Edenbridge-Humber Valley, Markland Wood and Etobicoke West Mall. July 2026, from Market Watch released 6 August 2026: 119 sales, an average price of $1,086,767 and a median of $825,000, on 241 new listings and 466 active listings, 4.2 months of inventory, an average of 97% of list price and 33 days on market. The gap between the average and the median tells you the district contains both Kingsway detached houses and Kipling condos.
| W08 MLS® HPI benchmark, July 2026 | Benchmark price | Change year over year |
|---|---|---|
| Composite | $994,800 | −1.93% |
| Single-family detached | $1,638,600 | −2.21% |
| Single-family attached | $1,188,600 | −2.14% |
| Townhouse | $698,200 | −11.00% |
| Apartment | $520,400 | −7.73% |
The apartment benchmark at $520,400 is the number a Kipling-area condo buyer should carry around, and the townhouse benchmark falling 11% in a year is the number a townhouse seller should. Both are district-wide figures; a specific building can sit well above or below them.
Schools and parks
Schools with published addresses in the station’s neighbourhoods. Assignment is by the board’s address lookup only; programs, boundary changes and published results are on the Kingsway and Islington schools page.
- Islington Junior Middle School (TDSB), 44 Cordova Ave, JK–8; Early French Immersion site on the 2026–27 map.
- Wedgewood Junior School (TDSB), 5 Swan Ave, JK–5.
- Etobicoke Collegiate Institute (TDSB), 86 Montgomery Rd, Grades 9–12; out-of-area admissions closed following the 2025 boundary review.
- Burnhamthorpe Collegiate Institute and Burnhamthorpe Adult Learning Centre (TDSB), 500 The East Mall.
- St. Clement Catholic School (TCDSB), 4319 Bloor St W, JK–8.
- Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School (TCDSB), 32 Montgomery Rd, JK–8.
- Bishop Allen Academy (TCDSB), 721 Royal York Rd — temporarily relocating to 2 St. Andrews Blvd from September 2026 while a replacement school is built.
- École élémentaire catholique Sainte-Marguerite-d’Youville (Csc MonAvenir), 755 Royal York Rd, maternelle to 6e.
Tom Riley Park, “the 11.5-hectare Tom Riley Park,” along Mimico Creek is the green space the Secondary Plan designates as “a major open space and institutional area to serve the Etobicoke Centre.” The Six Points parks listed above are the new ones.
Who Kipling suits
It suits a subway commuter who wants a seat, an airport-bound traveller (the 900 is a real service, not a marketing line), a Mississauga worker who can use MiWay from the terminal, and a buyer who wants to be early in a district with a civic centre and a rebuilt mall arriving in 2027 and 2028. It suits a driver more than any other station on this site: 1,067 TTC commuter spaces at published rates.
It does not suit a buyer who thinks “GO station” means all-day trains — the Milton line is rush-hour only. And it does not suit anyone buying a resale condo on the assumption that supply near the station is tight; the approved pipeline says otherwise for the next several years.
Buying near Kipling before the civic centre and Cloverdale arrive?
I will tell you which buildings compete with the new rental supply, which streets in Islington still have houses within a walk of the subway, and what the W08 numbers mean for the one you are looking at.

About the author — Jatin Dua, Broker of Record
I’m the Broker of Record at RE/MAX Quantum Realty, 799 The Queensway in Etobicoke, and most of the buyers I work with are choosing between neighbourhoods on the strength of a commute. The honest answer to “how far is the station” is almost never the one in the listing, so I measure it from the published timetable, the transit agency’s own station page and the City’s planning documents, and I quote each one with its date.
Schedules and fares change several times a year. Every figure on this page carries the date it was read; check the current GO or TTC timetable before you rely on a departure time. connect@jatindua.com or 437-987-1925.
