Rentals in Bloordale Gardens, Toronto

Etobicoke West Mall, Etobicoke

Etobicoke West Mall is a primarily commercial and institutional district in central Etobicoke, centred on the Cloverdale Mall area near Highway 427 and Bloor Street West. It is not a traditionally residential neighbourhood in character — the built environment is dominated by big-box retail, institutional uses, and some mid-rise apartment stock — but renters here trade neighbourhood atmosphere for practical highway and transit access.

Transit

No TTC subway stations within the boundary, but 32 bus stops connect to Islington and Kipling subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth line. Highway 427 and the Gardiner Expressway are immediately accessible for drivers. One university institution is nearby.

Parks

4 parks provide limited but functional green space in an otherwise commercial landscape.

Dining and Groceries

Amenities are minimal: 5 dining options, 1 grocery store, and 1 nightlife venue within the neighbourhood itself. Cloverdale Mall and surrounding retail plazas supplement the local offer. The sparse dining count reflects the commercial rather than residential character.

Schools

2 schools serve the modest residential population.

Rental Market

15 listings show an average of $2,700 and a median of $2,600. The range of $850 to $7,100 reflects a mix of apartment units and some premium outliers. Pricing is reasonable given the highway access and proximity to Etobicoke's major retail corridor.

Who It Suits

Etobicoke West Mall suits renters who prioritize highway access over neighbourhood character — commuters heading to the airport corridor, 427, or Gardiner will find this location strategically convenient. It also works for renters associated with nearby institutional or commercial employers.
