Mimico's grand Edwardian and Tudor mansions on the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard are holdovers from the 1890's and early 1900's when Mimico was the summer home of Toronto's wealthiest families. These homes are well set back from the road and feature elaborate stone and iron gateways. The cobblestone craftsman style houses are particularly noteworthy.

The houses south of Lake Shore Boulevard include an eclectic mix of custom built new homes, modern bungalow designs, and a large number of low-rise rental apartment buildings. Many of these homes feature a full or partial view of Lake Ontario. The houses north of Lake Shore Boulevard include a mix of Edwardian and Victorian style houses from the 1910's and 1920's as well as Tudor-style bungalows and two-storey houses from the 1930's and 1940's. There are also some multi-plex apartment houses in this part of the neighbourhood.
