Mimico

Stretching from Islington Avenue to the Humber river, this waterfront neighbourhood sits right on the lake.

The neighbourhood has a quant, small town feel but offers easy access to all of the big city conveniences. Homes here range from custom built million dollar estates along the water to smaller bungalows and cottages in the heart of Mimico. Homeowners here have continued to see a steady rise in their property values making this a great area to invest in if you are looking to build a home or renovate in Toronto.
