Mimico-Queensway spans the historic lakeside village of Mimico and the busy Queensway corridor in southeast Etobicoke, between Lake Ontario and the Gardiner Expressway. It blends character homes on quiet village streets with newer development and shopping along The Queensway, all within easy reach of the waterfront parks at Humber Bay. The mix of lake access, transit and amenities makes it popular with families, professionals and commuters. If you are looking for homes for rent in Mimico-Queensway, 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
The Mimico GO station on the Lakeshore West line gives residents a direct rail link to Union Station, and the 501 Queen streetcar runs along Lake Shore Boulevard through Mimico village. The Gardiner Expressway and The Queensway provide fast routes downtown for drivers, and TTC buses run along Royal York, Islington and The Queensway to connect with the wider network.
Who lives in Mimico-Queensway

Homes for rent in Mimico-Queensway
On the residential streets you will find older detached and semi-detached homes, renovated character houses and townhouses, with newer infill scattered throughout, while taller condominium buildings cluster along The Queensway and toward Humber Bay. For house hunters, Mimico's village streets offer the most detached and semi-detached choice. 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
Older village homes can need updating, so check roofs, windows, foundations and mechanical systems. Traffic along The Queensway and the Gardiner can be heavy at peak times, so visit at different times of day, and confirm your commute mix of GO, streetcar, bus and driving before deciding.
