Thistletown-Beaumond Heights, Etobicoke
Thistletown-Beaumond Heights is a Neighbourhood Improvement Area in the northwest corner of Etobicoke, straddling Albion Road near Islington Avenue. It is a mixed residential community with apartment towers, townhouses, and some low-rise housing on the eastern edges. Like other NIA neighbourhoods in this part of the city, it has a diverse multicultural population and community programming supported by municipal investment.
Transit
Two TTC stations and 43 bus stops provide transit access — better than several neighbouring NIA communities. Connections run to Kipling and the Finch West corridor.
Parks
7 parks serve the neighbourhood. The Humber River is within reach to the west, offering ravine trail access.
Dining and Groceries
31 dining venues and 10 grocery stores make this neighbourhood particularly well-stocked for daily needs relative to its size. 6 healthcare facilities and 2 fitness centres are available. 3 schools serve the community.
Rental Market
With only 6 listings, inventory is extremely thin. Average rent is $2,208 and the median of $2,700 suggests most available units are larger family apartments rather than bachelors. The range of $750 to $3,200 is fairly contained. Affordable pricing combined with good grocery access is the primary draw.
Who It Suits
Thistletown-Beaumond Heights suits families and newcomers who want affordable rents, strong grocery infrastructure, and community services in a NIA neighbourhood with active municipal investment. The 31 dining venues make it livelier than its peer NIA communities in northwest Etobicoke.
