How I chose them: I looked at Islington Village and Six Points the way a tenant should — how quickly you reach transit, what the building actually offers day to day, suite sizes, building age and condition, and how many units come up for lease so you have choice. This is my own shortlist, not a paid or third-party ranking, and every building fact below is linked to a source at the end.

Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026. District W08 is the TRREB reporting area that covers Islington Village and Six Points; 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.
The top 5 condo buildings to rent in Islington Village and Six Points
Islington Terrace (Tridel)
5-7 Mabelle Ave & 3370 Bloor St W
45 storeys · Developer: Tridel
Getting around: Steps from Islington station (Line 2); the complex sits just north of the station.
What the building offers: Indoor swimming pool; fitness centre and yoga studio; sauna, steam room and whirlpool; basketball court; rooftop lounge and BBQ area; concierge-monitored security.
What renters should know:
- Newer Tridel-built tower (occupied around 2019-2020) in a three-tower complex with a large shared 'Terrace Club' amenity podium.
- Mostly compact modern suites (studios to 3-bedrooms), so expect smaller square footage than 1970s-80s towers nearby.

The Kip District – Tower One
5365 Dundas St W
Completed 2018 · 28 storeys · about 283 suites · Developer: Concert Properties
Getting around: A short walk to Kipling station (Line 2) and Kipling GO (Milton line).
What the building offers: Concierge-attended lobby; fitness centre; theatre room; party room with kitchen and dining area; guest suite and BBQ area; dog wash area.
What renters should know:
- First tower of a five-tower master plan, so later phases and construction continue next door.
- Suites are compact (roughly 500-855 sq ft), suited to singles and couples rather than families.
- Kipling GO plus the subway terminus make it a good base for commuters heading downtown or west to Mississauga.
Why it makes the list: It pairs a 2018-built tower with direct access to both the Line 2 terminus and Kipling GO.
Port Royal Place II
15 Michael Power Pl
Completed 2003 · 16 storeys · about 140 suites · Developer: Pemberton Group
Getting around: Within walking distance of Islington station (Line 2), with buses along Dundas St W and Islington Ave.
What the building offers: Concierge / security guard; gym; party room; games room; meeting room; visitor parking.
What renters should know:
- Mid-rise 2000s building (about 140 suites) in the Michael Power Place cluster of similar condos, so rental supply is steady but modest.
- Condo fees cover utilities including hydro, which often lets landlords offer all-inclusive rent.
- Quieter side-street setting near Islington Village shops on Dundas St W.
Why it makes the list: It is a quieter, mid-size value pick close to Islington Village and the subway, with utilities in the fees.
Evolution Condos
5101 Dundas St W
14 storeys
Getting around: Walkable to the Kipling / Six Points area, with Kipling station (Line 2) and Kipling GO nearby and buses on Dundas St W.
What the building offers: Concierge and security; gym / fitness centre; party room; guest suites; meeting room and visitor lounge.
What renters should know:
- Boutique-scale 14-storey building (roughly 145-148 suites, built about 2013-2014), so fewer units come up for lease at any one time.
- Suites run larger than new-build micro-units.
- Condo fees are reported to include heat, water and A/C but not hydro, so tenants typically pay their own electricity.
Why it makes the list: It offers a smaller, newer-than-average building on Dundas W between Islington Village and Kipling.

Triumph at Valhalla

Getting around: Not walkable to the subway; bus connections to Kipling station (Line 2), with immediate Hwy 427 access for drivers.
What the building offers: Concierge; fitness centre; indoor pool; party room; guest suites; rooftop deck.
What renters should know:
- One of several Edilcan towers on Valhalla Inn Rd beside Hwy 427, which gives a large pool of similar rental units in one pocket.
- Highway-side location: good for drivers and airport commuters, but check noise and exposure before signing.
- Condo fees are reported to include heat, water and A/C; hydro is individually metered, so tenants usually pay it.
Why it makes the list: It is the value/driver pick: a newer tower with pool-level amenities at a lower price point than subway-adjacent buildings.

Living in Islington Village and Six Points as a renter
One of Toronto's four suburban 'city centres' outside downtown, it grew around Dundas St W and boomed with office and high-rise residential development after the Bloor-Danforth subway reached Islington in 1968 and Kipling in 1980. The old Six Points freeway-style interchange was rebuilt into at-grade streets (2017-2020), opening land for new towers and a civic hub, so the area mixes 1970s-2000s high-rises with brand-new master-planned towers.
| Islington Village and Six Points in brief | |
|---|---|
| Where it is | Etobicoke's west-central business district around Bloor St W and Dundas St W, from roughly Islington Ave west to Mimico Creek / Hwy 427, with Rathburn Rd as the northern edge; includes Islington Village on Dundas St W, the Six Points (Dundas-Bloor-Kipling) area and the Valhalla Inn Rd / The East Mall towers beside Hwy 427. |
| Transit | Line 2 Bloor-Danforth at Islington and Kipling stations (Kipling is the western terminus with a large TTC/MiWay bus terminal); Kipling GO station on the Milton GO line. The Line 5 Eglinton West extension (future Islington and Kipling stops on Eglinton) is still under construction with no opening date and is well north of this area. |
| Everyday life | Historic Village of Islington BIA shops and murals along Dundas St W; Montgomery's Inn (Etobicoke's community museum); Six Points redevelopment area near Kipling station; Sherway Gardens mall a short drive or bus ride southwest; ravine trails along Mimico Creek. |
| Official City neighbourhood | Islington-City Centre West (No. 14 in the City's older 140-neighbourhood model); in the current 158-neighbourhood model this area is Islington (158) and Etobicoke City Centre (159). |
Things renters in Islington Village and Six Points should know
- Subway proximity varies a lot: Bloor/Mabelle and Kipling-station towers are steps from Line 2, while the Valhalla Inn Rd towers beside Hwy 427 rely on buses and are not a walkable-subway location.
- Lots of new supply: several multi-tower master plans (Islington Terrace, The Kip District phases, Valhalla Town Square, Six Points) are completing in stages, so expect ongoing construction nearby and brand-new units competing for tenants.
- Towers beside Hwy 427 and the rail corridor near Kipling can have highway/rail noise; view suites at rush hour and check window orientation.
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 Islington Village and Six Points, Islington Terrace and The Kip District – Tower One 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.
