Islington - City Centre West
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Islington, Islington Village, South of Bloor, The Queensway, Cloverdale
This large suburban district offers a range of housing options, from apartments and detached houses (many constructed before 1960) to condos and townhouses. The area has seen an overall increase in prosperity, with an almost 20 per cent drop in the number of low income inhabitants between the 1996 and 2001 censuses. The language mixture is fairly typical of a west Toronto suburb, with Korean, Polish, Serbian, Ukrainian and Italian as the district’s top five first languages for those whose first language is neither English nor French. Convenient for those who commute, there’s easy access to Highway 427 and the Gardiner Expressway.
