Lansing-Westgate

Location & Character

Lansing-Westgate is a North York neighbourhood in the Borough of North York, located along Yonge Street between Sheppard Avenue and Wilson Avenue. It sits just south of North York Centre and is characterized by a mix of low-rise residential streets, mid-rise apartment buildings, and the commercial activity of the Yonge Street corridor.

The neighbourhood has a transitional character — suburban in its residential blocks, urban in its Yonge Street frontage. It's well-positioned between the intensity of North York Centre to the north and the quieter residential areas to the south, making it a practical choice for those who need subway access without full high-rise density.

Transit

Four subway stations (Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre, Mel Lastman Square area) and 41 bus stops give Lansing-Westgate strong transit coverage. The Yonge subway line is the central asset.

Landmarks & Amenities

Eleven parks, 4 schools, 38 dining options, 6 groceries, 3 healthcare facilities, and 2 fitness studios serve the neighbourhood. The Yonge Street commercial corridor provides additional services not counted within the strict boundary.

Parks & Green Space

Eleven parks include the greenbelt connections along the ravine system to the west. Park coverage is solid for a corridor-adjacent neighbourhood.

Rental Market
