Neighbourhood Spotlight: Eringate-Centennial-West Deane

Etobicoke Lifestyle & Community Dave Dubbin July 28, 2026

What is Eringate-Centennial-West Deane actually like? It is central Etobicoke's park country. Three quiet residential pockets stitched together along the Mississauga border, wrapped around two of the biggest green spaces in the west end, with wide lots, 1950s and 60s houses, and quick access to the 427 and the airport. If you want space without leaving Toronto, this is one of the neighbourhoods where you can still find it.

Where it is

The neighbourhood sits in central Etobicoke, roughly bounded by Eglinton Avenue West to the north, Rathburn Road to the south, Highway 427 and Martin Grove Road to the east, and Etobicoke Creek to the west, where Toronto ends and Mississauga begins. The name is a mouthful because it is really three areas in one. West Deane sits in the east along Mimico Creek, Eringate is the middle stretch, and Centennial is the western section beside its namesake park.

The homes

This is classic postwar Etobicoke. Most of the housing stock went up in the 1950s and 60s, which means bungalows, sidesplits, backsplits, and modest two storey homes on lots wider than almost anything you'll find downtown. Streets curve, driveways are private, and garages are the rule rather than the exception. The ravine lots backing onto Mimico Creek and Etobicoke Creek are the quiet prizes of the neighbourhood. Like much of central Etobicoke, the area is slowly renewing itself, so you'll see new custom builds going up beside original bungalows on the same street.

What it costs

Prices here cover a wider range than people expect. Recent listings have run roughly from the high $800s for a smaller bungalow on a standard lot to well over $2 million for a new custom build or a ravine property. Sidesplits and updated two storey homes generally land somewhere in between. Rather than quote numbers that will be stale in a month, we keep a running look at the wider market in our Etobicoke market data post.

Getting to know central Etobicoke? These three are worth a read next:

Parks and green space

This is where the neighbourhood shows off. Centennial Park is Toronto's second largest park at over 500 acres, and it does a bit of everything: the conservatory, the ski and snowboard centre, the toboggan hill, a go kart track, cricket pitches, soccer fields, a splash pad, and the Pan Am BMX centre. Having it at the end of your street changes how you use your weekends. On the other side of the neighbourhood, West Deane Park follows Mimico Creek with a paved trail, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and playgrounds. You can walk the creek trail for a surprisingly long way without crossing a major road.

Schools

Schools serving the area include Eatonville Junior School, Millwood Junior School, Broadacres Junior Public School, Bloordale Middle School, and Michael Power/St. Joseph High School. Catchments shift from time to time, so confirm directly with the TDSB or TCDSB for any specific address.

Getting around

Drivers do well here. The 427 runs along the eastern edge, the 401 is minutes north, and Pearson is one of the shortest airport runs in Toronto. Transit is improving too. The Mississauga Transitway connects at Renforth near Eglinton, and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is tunnelling along the northern boundary, part of the same project bringing four underground stations to Etobicoke. When it opens, the drive first math of this neighbourhood starts to change.

What's nearby

Daily errands mostly happen along Rathburn, Renforth, and Burnhamthorpe, with bigger shops a short drive away at Sherway Gardens or Cloverdale, where a major redevelopment is planned. Markland Wood's plazas are just across Bloor to the south. It is not a walk to brunch neighbourhood, and the people who live here tend to like it that way.

Who it suits

Buyers who want a real backyard, a garage, parks that feel like a provincial holiday, and a fast route to the airport or the 401. If your search keeps bouncing between Markland Wood, Princess-Rosethorn, and central Etobicoke generally, this pocket belongs on your list.
