My top five townhouse communities in Etobicoke are Westshore in Long Branch (982 stacked and back-to-back units at 3600 Lake Shore Blvd W), Edenbridge at 259 The Kingsway (two-storey garden townhomes), Dunpar’s Earlington Towns in the Kingsway (three-bedroom back-to-backs), the former Goodyear lands in New Toronto (towns, co-ops and condos) and Mimico’s townhouse pockets near Mimico GO. The order is my judgement, not an official ranking.
How I chose these five
Townhouses in Etobicoke come in very different forms: new stacked and back-to-back towns along Lake Shore, garden townhomes attached to a condo building, small infill projects, and older pockets built on former industrial land. I wanted a list that shows that range rather than five versions of the same product.
I only included a community if I could confirm its basics on a developer page, a building database or a published neighbourhood history. Where a source gave a unit count, address or building type, I use it; where it did not, I say so rather than guess. I do not quote prices or rents for individual projects.
Beyond the buildings themselves, I looked at what is within walking distance: a main street, a GO or subway station, and parks. Those are the things that make a townhouse work as a long-term home rather than a stepping stone.
One project I left off on purpose: Dunpar also markets Lambton Towns, 96 back-to-back three-bedroom homes with private rooftop terraces, but its page gives no street address and does not confirm the location is in Etobicoke. Until I can confirm where it sits, it does not belong on an Etobicoke list.
1. Westshore, Long Branch
What it offers
This is the largest townhouse community on my list. The Skyrise Cities building database lists the Minto Long Branch project at 3600 Lake Shore Boulevard West as stacked and back-to-back townhouses, with apartments and retail along Lake Shore, totalling 982 units across two phases, up to four storeys, and complete.
The database names Diamond Corp, Minto Communities GTA and Kilmer Group as developers, with Guthrie Muscovitch Bielny Architecture and Giannone Petricone Associates as architects.
What it means for buyers
Stacked and back-to-back towns are typically the entry point to townhouse ownership, and a project this size means a steady supply of resales to compare. Expect stairs: units are spread over several levels, which suits some buyers more than others.
The location is a strength. Long Branch has a neighbourhood Walk Score of 64, and Long Branch GO, on the Lakeshore West line, opened in 1967 beside the Long Branch Loop.
Practical notes
- Address: 3600 Lake Shore Boulevard West, near Brown’s Line.
- Ask for the status certificate and check what the common elements fee covers.
- Marie Curtis Park, at the mouth of Etobicoke Creek, is one of Long Branch’s two public lakeshore parks.
2. Edenbridge garden townhomes, The Kingsway
What it offers
Tridel’s Edenbridge at 259 The Kingsway combines condominium suites with two-storey garden townhomes. Tridel describes “sunny, home-sized floorplans,” a grand lobby and an English-inspired garden, and says its suites and townhomes are move-in ready.
Tridel’s Etobicoke page places Edenbridge at the Kingsway and Royal York, in one of Etobicoke’s most established neighbourhoods.
What it means for buyers
A garden townhome inside a condo building is a different product from a freehold town. You get the building’s lobby and shared spaces with a ground-level home, but you also have condo fees and rules. For downsizers leaving a Kingsway house, that trade can be attractive.
Two storeys is fewer than most new stacked towns, which matters if stairs are a concern. Tridel’s description of shared space centres on social areas: a grand lobby, entertaining spaces and outdoor gardens, rather than a long list of recreation amenities.
Practical notes
- Address: 259 The Kingsway.
- Subway: Line 2 runs under Bloor Street West; Royal York station is listed by the TTC as accessible with three elevators. Walk the route from the building before you decide.
- Tridel’s page does not give storey counts or suite numbers, so ask the sales office directly.
3. Earlington Towns, The Kingsway
What it offers
Dunpar Homes markets Earlington Towns as back-to-back townhomes “in the Heart of The Kingsway,” with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and European kitchen appliances. Dunpar lists the project as now open, with model units available for occupancy soon.
Dunpar is also building Kingsway Village Square at 38 Earlington Avenue, at the southwest corner of Dundas Street West, which it describes as a ten-storey rental building plus a block of three-storey townhouses. Dunpar says development there is well underway.
What it means for buyers and renters
New townhouses are rare in the Kingsway, which is mostly detached houses. Back-to-back towns give a way into the area at a different price point than a house, though they have no backyard and share walls on more than one side.
If you want to try the area before buying, the rental townhouses at Kingsway Village Square may be worth watching once they are complete.
Practical notes
- Dunpar’s Earlington Towns page does not give a street address or unit count; confirm both before you commit.
- Dunpar mentions access to Bloor Street and Royal York station.
- New builds come with Tarion warranty protection, which Dunpar confirms for every unit.
4. The former Goodyear lands, New Toronto
What it offers
New Toronto’s townhouse stock is tied to its industrial past. According to the area’s Wikipedia entry, the Goodyear plant closed in May 1987, and its lands are now “the site of several co-operative housing buildings, townhouses, condos, and a park.”
Part of that site is Lakeshore Village, a co-operative housing community between Ninth and Thirteenth Streets north of Lake Shore Boulevard West, developed by the Daniels Corporation.
What it means for buyers and renters
This area mixes ownership and co-operative housing, and they work differently. Co-op homes are not bought and sold on the open market the way freehold or condo townhouses are, so check the tenure of any listing.
The location is New Toronto’s main advantage. It has the highest neighbourhood Walk Score in Etobicoke that I found, 72, and the Lakeshore Village BIA runs along Lake Shore from Dwight Avenue to Twelfth Street.
Practical notes
- Area: north of Lake Shore Boulevard West around Ninth to Thirteenth Streets.
- Check whether a townhouse is freehold, condominium or co-op before you book a showing.
- Humber College’s Lakeshore campus sits at the foot of Kipling Avenue.
5. Mimico’s townhouse pockets
What it offers
Mimico’s townhouses are scattered rather than in one big project. The Mimico Wikipedia entry notes that former industrial land was subdivided in the 1980s, first for large houses and later for townhouses, alongside newer condominium buildings in historic Mimico.
What it means for buyers
Buying here is about picking the right block. The neighbourhood Walk Score is 62, but Lake Shore Boulevard West at Royal York Road scores 76, and Mimico has two BIAs: Mimico by the Lake on Lake Shore between Allen Avenue and Alexander Street, and Mimico Village on Royal York Road down to the GO station.
Mimico GO, on the Lakeshore West line, is the commuting draw; Wikipedia’s history notes the current station was built in the 1970s near the site of the 1855 original. The waterfront is the other, with Mimico Linear Park’s boardwalks linking small lakefront parks.
Practical notes
- Because these are smaller, older complexes, the age of roofs, windows and mechanical systems varies a lot from one to the next.
- For condo-tenure towns, ask about the reserve fund study.
- Walk from the specific complex to Lake Shore, Royal York Road and the GO station before you decide; distances vary more than the neighbourhood name suggests.

What this means if you’re buying or selling in Etobicoke
The first question with any Etobicoke townhouse is tenure: freehold, condominium or co-op. It decides whether you pay a monthly fee, who fixes the roof, and what you can change. Many newer stacked and back-to-back towns are part of a condominium corporation, so a status certificate review belongs in your offer.
The second question is stairs. Stacked towns and back-to-backs stretch living space over three or more levels, which suits young families and first-time buyers better than people planning to age in place. If that is you, my piece on aging in place versus downsizing is worth reading first.
With a brand-new townhouse, read the agreement of purchase and sale with a lawyer before it becomes firm. Confirm the closing date the builder commits to, what is included in the price, and what closing adjustments you may be charged. Dunpar notes Tarion warranty protection on its units; ask any builder how that coverage applies to your home.
If you are selling a townhouse, buyers will compare it against the newest projects on this list. Recent updates, a clean status certificate and walking distance to a GO station or main street are what help an older town hold its own.

Frequently asked questions
What is the largest townhouse community in Etobicoke?
Of the communities I checked, the largest is the Minto Long Branch project at 3600 Lake Shore Boulevard West. The Skyrise Cities database lists 982 stacked and back-to-back townhouse units across two phases, up to four storeys, with apartments and retail along Lake Shore, and shows the project as complete.
Are there new townhouses in the Kingsway?
Yes. Tridel’s Edenbridge at 259 The Kingsway offers two-storey garden townhomes alongside condo suites and says they are move-in ready. Dunpar Homes markets Earlington Towns, three-bedroom back-to-back townhomes in the Kingsway, as now open. Confirm addresses, unit counts and closing dates with each builder.
What is the difference between stacked and back-to-back townhouses?
Both are denser than a traditional row house. Stacked towns place one unit above another, while back-to-back towns share a rear wall as well as side walls, so they usually have no backyard. Both often belong to a condominium corporation, so check the fees, rules and status certificate before you buy.
Which Etobicoke townhouse areas are near a GO station?
Westshore in Long Branch is near Long Branch GO, and Mimico’s townhouse pockets are near Mimico GO, both on the Lakeshore West line. In the Kingsway, the rail option is Line 2 along Bloor Street West; Dunpar cites access to Royal York station, which the TTC lists as accessible with three elevators.
Can I buy a townhouse in Lakeshore Village in New Toronto?
Lakeshore Village, between Ninth and Thirteenth Streets north of Lake Shore Boulevard West, is a co-operative housing community developed by the Daniels Corporation, and co-op homes are not bought and sold like freehold or condo units. The surrounding former Goodyear lands also include townhouses and condos, so check the tenure of each listing.
