Etobicoke City Centre

Etobicoke's Urban Hub Around Sherway and Six Points

About Etobicoke City Centre

Etobicoke City Centre is the commercial and civic heart of Etobicoke, anchored by the Six Points interchange where Dundas Street, Bloor Street, and Kipling Avenue converge. For decades, this area served as the municipal centre of the former City of Etobicoke, and its civic infrastructure — including the Etobicoke Civic Centre and the surrounding government offices — reflects that administrative heritage. The recent redevelopment of the Six Points interchange into a more pedestrian-friendly urban space signals a new chapter for the area. Sherway Gardens, one of the GTA's premier shopping destinations, anchors the southern portion of the neighbourhood, drawing shoppers from across the region with its mix of luxury and mainstream retailers. The surrounding area is a mix of high-rise residential towers, low-rise commercial strips, and pockets of established single-family homes. The residential population is diverse, with a significant mix of new Canadian families alongside longtime Etobicoke residents. The neighbourhood benefits from strong transit connections via the Kipling subway station, which serves as the western terminus of the Bloor-Danforth Line 2 and connects to Mississauga Transit and GO buses. With ongoing development transforming the Six Points area from a car-oriented interchange into a mixed-use urban neighbourhood, Etobicoke City Centre is actively reinventing itself for the next generation.
