Toronto Area Neighbourhood Profiles
Neighbourhoods » The Queensway, TorontoThe Queensway, is a neighbourhood in the south-west of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the south-east of the former City of Etobicoke.
Mainly 1950's era low rise apartment buildings and an old turn-of-the century market garden community that was absorbed by the city as it grew. Being difficult to access, with no major arteries going in or out, there is little traffic, and the only amenities in the area are in the Stonegate Plaza, which include delis, dollar stores, a pharmacy, a laundromat, and a Valu-Mart. The southeast portion of the neighbourhood is relatively low-rent, also low-crime, with a high population of European immigrants.
Most streets formerly south of the Queensway east of the Mimico Creek were lost when the QEW was built however, along the waterfront a new street has been built on largely artificial shoreline named Marine Parade after a similar 1890's street planned to run along Mimico's shoreline. Some streets laid out in developments for returning soldiers carry names commemorating military men such as: Hornell (war hero born in Mimico), Saunders, Clive and Cochrane (formerly Churchill). Other streets laid out in the following years celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II such as: the Queensway and Lillibet Rd. Many streets in the Humber Bay neighbourhood north of Berry Road are entirely new, such as: Sunnydale, Kinsdale and Heatherdale.
