Humbermede and Emery is split by train tracks; dividing residential areas from a large industrial zone — here you’ll find steel manufacturers, chemical plants, repair shops, service based businesses, and some retail stores as well.

The neighbourhood is bounded by Finch Avenue to the north, which serves as a gathering place for restaurants in the area; McDonald's, Wing Machine, and a selection of international restaurants.

Currently, there’s 1 high-rise condo in the neighbourhood and a few townhome complexes; Century Gardens Condos is the only condo building, built in 1975, this condo features expansive floor plans at extremely enticing prices — but units might be a little dated, so prospective buyers will need to be ready for an upgrade or two.

On the other hand, for something move-in ready, you’ll want to consider Harmony Towns; it’s entirely possible to find a 4 bedroom townhome here — that’s right, 4 bedrooms — for the price of a 1 bedroom unit in downtown Toronto. Humbermede and Emery condos offer incredible value, and you’d be hard-pressed to find more bang for your buck in any other GTA neighbourhood.
