Why we love it: This is lakefront living at its finest! Residents get the best of both worlds in Mimico.

Enjoy walking along the restored shoreline, cycle or rollerblade along the boardwalk, or play a tennis match at the Mimico Tennis Club. The Annual Lakeshore Community Festival and the Etobicoke-Lakeshore Christmas Parade make living in Mimico memorable. For shopping and dining, head to the many restaurants and stores lining Royal York Road and Lakeshore Boulevard West.

Mimico is great for people who love to bike, walk, run or rollerblade. Motorists enjoy easy access to downtown, as do commuters who can grab the GO train, streetcar, or Royal York bus that connects to the Bloor-Danforth subway line.

The housing stock is a mix of detached bungalows, semi-detached homes, or townhouses.

Neighbourhood highlight: Toronto Region Conservation wetland habitat in Humber Bay Park.
