Long Branch is a charming lakeside community at the southwest tip of Etobicoke, set around Lake Shore Boulevard West and Brown's Line on the shore of Lake Ontario. Once a summer cottage retreat, it has grown into a sought-after neighbourhood with a relaxed waterfront lifestyle, the green space of Marie Curtis Park, a walkable village strip and excellent transit, making it popular with families and professionals alike. If you are searching for homes for sale in Long Branch, you will find an established, family-friendly part of Etobicoke with more space than the central city and a real sense of community.
