Westshore Towns — Long Branch Lakeside Living

Westshore Towns is Minto Communities' next chapter in Long Branch — a boutique, master-planned collection of urban townhomes at the corner of Lake Shore Blvd W and Long Branch Ave in South Etobicoke. Working with international architecture firm BDP Quadrangle, Westshore's first phase brings an all-in-one housing solution for first-time buyers, growing families and empty nesters, with the broader community planned to welcome over 500 townhome units over several phases. The address puts owners two minutes from the lake, three minutes from Long Branch GO, and a short streetcar ride from downtown Toronto.

The 153-home opening phase blends three distinct typologies. The Heights offer 1 to 3 bedrooms, coming in three distinct models: The Sky Towns with rooftop terraces, The Flats with balconies, and The Gardens with charming garden patios. Residents of The Heights will have access to an underground parking garage, elevators, and a welcoming common corridor that fosters a sense of community. Suites range from 472 to 1,282 sq ft, with open-concept layouts and indoor-outdoor connections throughout.

For investors and end-users alike, the underwriting is straightforward: starting prices in the $470s with HST rebates included, a 15% deposit spread over a year, capped development levies, and assignment available. Minto has been building in the Long Branch neighbourhood for over ten years, starting with the Southshore and Longbranch communities — Westshore is the maturation of that decade-plus build-out, in a pocket already serviced by GO, TTC, Humber College, Sherway Gardens, and the lakeshore park system.

Long Branch has a small-town charm that makes it unique compared to other neighbourhoods in Toronto. The area is known for its tree-lined streets and well-preserved vintage homes, and is one of the most walkable neighbourhoods in the city, with access to parks, lakeside promenades, and trails. Westshore plants a sustainable, design-led townhome community directly into that fabric.
