Markland Wood is a quiet, established residential community in the far west of Etobicoke, set around Bloor Street West and Mill Road near the Etobicoke Creek and the Mississauga border. Built largely as a planned community around the Markland Wood golf club, it offers spacious family homes, mature trees and a peaceful, suburban feel with easy highway access for commuters. If you are looking for homes for rent in Markland Wood, you will find an established, family-friendly part of Etobicoke where rental houses and units offer more space than the central city.
Location and transit
Markland Wood has no subway of its own, but the western terminus of the Bloor-Danforth subway (Line 2) at Kipling station is a short bus ride to the east. TTC buses run along Bloor and Mill Road to connect with the subway and the wider network, and Highway 427 and the QEW are close at hand, making the area convenient for drivers heading downtown or out to Mississauga.
Who lives in Markland Wood
The neighbourhood draws families, professionals and downsizers who want a quiet, green, established setting with quick highway access. Many are attracted by the golf club and parkland, the spacious lots, and the peaceful streets away from the city's busier corridors.
Homes for rent in Markland Wood
Housing is mainly detached homes from the 1960s and 1970s on generous lots, along with some semi-detached houses and a number of renovated and rebuilt properties. The consistent, planned streetscapes and mature landscaping are central to the area's appeal. Rental supply here is smaller than in downtown apartment districts and leans toward whole houses, basement and upper-level suites, and the occasional townhouse, so well-priced listings tend to attract steady interest from families.
What to consider before renting
Many homes date from the original build-out, so check roofs, windows, foundations and mechanical systems and budget for updates. With no local subway, plan your commute around buses, the Kipling subway connection and driving, and as always confirm school catchments and visit at different times of day.
