Humber Heights-Westmount

About Humber Heights-Westmount

Humber Heights-Westmount is a residential neighbourhood in central Etobicoke, perched on the elevated terrain above the Humber River Valley between Eglinton Avenue West and Lawrence Avenue. The area offers a rare combination in Toronto: single-family home living on spacious lots with direct access to one of the city's most significant ravine systems, all within a 30-minute drive of downtown. The housing stock reflects the post-war development that shaped much of Etobicoke: brick bungalows, raised ranches, and split-levels built in the 1950s through 1970s, many substantially renovated by successive owners. The lots are generous by Toronto standards, with deep backyards and mature trees that create a parklike residential setting. Weston Road and Royal York Road serve as the primary commercial corridors, with a mix of independent businesses, restaurants, and everyday services. The Humber River Valley is the neighbourhood's defining natural feature. The valley's trail system offers year-round recreation — walking, cycling, cross-country skiing in winter — and the mature forests, wetlands, and wildlife provide a genuine natural escape. Raymore Park and the surrounding green spaces add to the recreational inventory. The neighbourhood attracts families and long-term residents who value outdoor living, space, and a suburban pace of life while remaining connected to the city through Eglinton Avenue and the nearby transit routes.
