The Princess-Rosethorn Neighbourhood is a quiet mid-century era “suburb” located in Central Etobicoke. Much of the existing housing stock here consists of contemporary and ranch style bungalows, or split level style homes built between 1955 and 1965. Housing density is low (most homes are single family) with tranquil curved streetscapes, mature landscaping and wider lot frontages.  
Although a car-based community, there is reasonable bus service to wisk you to the Bloor subway line or GO station. It is approx. 30 minutes to drive to downtown Toronto from here. Shopping in the area is handy with nearby plazas such as Lloyd Manor plaza near Eglington, or smaller Thorncrest Plaza. The Lloyd Manor Plaza located at Lloyd Manor Road and Eglinton Avenue features a 24 hour Metro grocery store, CIBC bank, Shoppers Drug Mart, an optical store, a dry cleaner, a photo finishing shop, a variety store, and a wine shop. There are also many medical offices at this plaza. Residents of this neighbourhood also shop at the nearby ThorncrestPlaza on Islington Avenue at Rathburn Road, shown below.
