Humber Heights-Westmount, Etobicoke
Humber Heights-Westmount is a small, Emerging residential neighbourhood in Etobicoke, sitting just north of the Humber River along Scarlett Road and Weston Road. It is a transitional community ā older detached homes and semis dominate, but the Emerging classification signals municipal and private investment in the area's trajectory. Its position between the Humber River valley and the Weston corridor gives it an interesting if quiet character.
Transit
No subway stations; 52 bus stops connect to Weston GO, Kipling, and Islington stations. The Weston GO line provides express service to Union Station in about 20 minutes ā a significant transit asset for downtown commuters willing to use GO transit.
Parks
9 parks serve the neighbourhood, including access to the Humber River trail system along the eastern edge.
Dining and Groceries
7 dining venues and 6 grocery stores handle daily needs. The Weston Road commercial strip to the north and east provides additional options.

Rental Market
Only 6 listings make this Toronto's second-thinnest market in this batch. Average rent is $4,296 and the median is $3,925 ā both elevated, reflecting a market of full houses and larger units rather than apartments. The range of $2,425 to $8,000 confirms this. GO transit access to Union Station at this price point offers commuter value.
Who It Suits
Humber Heights-Westmount is a niche choice for families or professionals who want Humber River proximity, GO transit access to downtown, and larger rental units in an Emerging neighbourhood with upside potential. Inventory is very thin.
