Lansing is a neighbourhood in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is defined by the City of Toronto as Lansing-Westgate.
Formerly a much larger neighbourhood, the neighbourhood of Willowdale now occupies the area to the north. Lansing is now bordered by Yonge Street to the east, Highway 401 to the south, Bathurst Street to the west and Burnett Avenue to the north.
The neighbourhood can even be broken down further with Lansing occupying the northeastern quadrant and Armour Heights the southwest section.
Homes in the neighbourhoods are largely owned and occupied by single families. Many mature pine trees in the neighbourhood and Don River effectively separate Armour Heights and Lansing providing peace and quite even though the neighbourhood is in close proximity to Toronto's Highway 401. Lansing is an interesting area filled with two distinct types of households. The first type are older couples, usually with adult children, living in post-war bungalows, the second, are younger wealthy families living in "rebuilds". The neighbourhood is currently undergoing significant construction as wealthy families buy more bungalows, tear them down and build two-million-dollar houses.
According to the 2006 Canadian Census.
