Mimico Bungalows For Sale

Mimico’s older streets mix early 1900s homes, storey-and-a-half houses and postwar bungalows on lots that are often narrow but deep. Many have been extended or rebuilt, so condition varies a lot from house to house, and comparing them with Stonegate-Queensway to the north gives a useful sense of value.

Mimico GO station on the Lakeshore West line offers a quick ride to Union Station, and the 501 Queen streetcar runs along Lake Shore Boulevard West. Drivers are minutes from the Gardiner Expressway, though it can be congested at rush hour, so compare commute options across the Etobicoke lakeshore.

Many houses predate 1950, so look for knob-and-tube wiring, lead or galvanized water lines, original sewer laterals and older foundation waterproofing. Being near the lake does not mean a home is in a flood zone, but grading and drainage still matter, so get a thorough inspection before planning a basement suite.

Yes, Humber Bay Shores along the waterfront has a large cluster of condo towers, and some buyers who want one-floor living choose a larger condo unit there instead of a house. The condo versus freehold guide covers fees, space and control so you can weigh both.
