Leaside is an established, prosperous residential neighbourhood in the former borough of East York, known for its tree-lined streets, planned origins and family character.

Location & boundaries

It is bounded roughly by Bayview Avenue to the west, Leslie Street to the east, Eglinton Avenue to the south and the Don Valley to the north, next to Davisville and Don Mills.

History

Named for William Lea's 1854 house, Leaside was developed from 1912-13 as a planned model town by the Canadian Northern Railway, with a layout by landscape architect Frederick Todd; its early industry included Canada Wire and Cable and the First World War Leaside Aerodrome.

Lifestyle

It is a quiet, upper-middle-class, family-oriented community with streets named after former railway executives.

Housing & property types

Housing is predominantly single-family detached homes.

Shopping & dining

Retail is concentrated along Bayview Avenue and around Laird Drive, the latter anchored by big-box stores.

Parks & recreation

Green space includes Serena Gundy Park and adjoining Don ravine parks, the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens arena and pool, and Trace Manes Park's tennis courts.

Schools

The Toronto District School Board operates Leaside High School, Northlea Elementary and Middle School and Bessborough Elementary.

Getting around

Line 5 Eglinton, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, serves the southern edge with Laird and Leaside stations, alongside TTC buses on Bayview Avenue and Laird Drive.

Buying a home in Leaside

In Ontario, most resale house offers go firm quickly in competitive markets, so line up financing and consider a pre-offer inspection. Your lawyer will search title, check for work orders and permits, and confirm the property's zoning.

Budget for Ontario's land transfer tax on top of the price; purchases in the City of Toronto also pay a separate municipal land transfer tax. First-time buyers may qualify for refunds on both.
