The City of Etobicoke is Toronto’s neighbour to the west and is in turn the neighbour of Mississauga to the east. Starting at Lake Ontario, Etobicoke stretches north to Steeles Avenue and north to the City of Vaughn. The actual area of Etobicoke is quite large and is home to number of great neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods have great contrast in terms of price and offer a little bit of everything for everybody. Starting down near Lake Ontario, prospective renters can find few smaller neighbourhoods that tend to be a little more expensive depending on the neighbourhood’s proximity to the lake.
Etobicoke has the lowest population density out of the former cities and boroughs that currently make up the city of Toronto. This is mainly due to its vast expanses of industrial lands. Several major freeways are routed through the area, making the area ideal for automobile-based transportation. Public transit does not serve the area well, with few rapid transit connections.
Many exceptions to Toronto's gridded street matrix are found in Etobicoke. A number of overpasses and awkward intersections, such as Bloor/Kipling/Dundas West, have been created in an effort to reconcile the grid with these planning anomalies.
Etobicoke has numerous public parks, notable among them is James Gardens on the banks of the Humber River. The park includes seasonal flowers, walkways, a rock garden, streams, and waterfalls. It is a very popular site for taking wedding photographs. The Humber Bay park is mostly located in Etobicoke.
The central/southern areas of Etobicoke are better served by public transit and closer to the city centre. These areas, such as Markland Wood, The Kingsway and New Toronto, consist of large green spaces, numerous parks, golf courses (including St. Georges Golf & Country Club, ranked 3rd best in Canada), numerous restaurants and cafes, and fine boutiques. Residential development consists primarily of single-family dwellings. Kingsway South neighbourhood has attracted many affluent individuals and families (as of 2001, over 50% of households have an income in excess of C$100,000/year), and remains one of Toronto's premier neighbourhoods.
The central areas of Etobicoke, although farther from the subway line, are still well-served by public transit buses. These neighbourhoods are generally middle class.
New Toronto, which is located in the southern region of Etobicoke, is an interesting little community that really has an old fashioned feel to it. This area contains a wide range of prices and would be an excellent choice for a renter who wants to be situated close to downtown Toronto and not have the feeling of living downtown. As Etobicoke moves north away from the lake the number of residential areas increases greatly. The opportunity for a renter to find a spacious apartment that is affordable and close to the city is very common. The areas of Eatonville, Humber Valley Village and Centennial Park are home to a great number of large apartment complexes. These areas offer affordable housing while keeping downtown Toronto within a ten or fifteen drive and are accessible by public transportation.
Unfortunately, some areas in Etobicoke have become neglected, "inner-ring" suburbs, such as Rexdale. Car culture infrastructure built in the 1960s is in a state of disrepair. These areas are dominated by unadorned, single-storeyed development and treeless, tarmac-covered prairie. Deflated real estate values have made these areas concentrated areas of poverty and crime. These central and northern areas of Etobicoke contain numerous high-density apartment complexes set in the middle of sizable, open fields and parks.

I was very happy with your service. We have recommended you to close friends of ours. We were extremely impressed with the way your employees handle our merchandise. What impressed us most about your company was the constant communication we were in with your over the road driver. Not only did everything arrive in one piece but a day earlier.
