ISLINGTON-CITY CENTRE WEST
Islington-City Centre West (also known as Islington Village, Six Points or Etobicoke City Centre) is a neighbourhood and former postal village in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the city centre of the former city of Etobicoke and is currently one of Toronto's four central business districts outside of Downtown Toronto. Islington is bounded on the north by Rathburn Road, on the east by Islington Avenue and Mimico Creek, on the south by Bloor St. W., and on the west by Mimico Creek and the hydro-electric powerline corridor.
Islington has a number of housing styles ranging from older, single family dwellings to apartment and condominium towers. Many of the older homes in the neighbourhood have been torn down and replaced with larger, more luxurious homes, particularly in the areas north of Dundas and east of Kipling. This is a trend that can be found all over older residential neighbourhoods in Toronto. The large lot sizes, mature trees and proximity to downtown Toronto is appealing to many would be residents. Dundas Street, between Islington and the Six Points interchange is currently undergoing change, with modern condominium developments under construction. Islington is quickly becoming one of West Toronto's more affluent residential areas.
