Neighbourhood guide

Living in Leslieville

Leslieville is an east-end neighbourhood that has transformed from a working-class village of gardeners and brickmakers into a popular area of cafes, brunch spots, design shops and film studios.

Location & boundaries

It sits east of the Don River, bounded roughly by the CN rail line and Gerrard Street to the north, Eastern Avenue to the south, McGee Street to the west and Coxwell Avenue to the east.

History

The village grew from the 1850s around the Toronto Nurseries of gardener George Leslie, and was long dominated by market gardens and brick factories before rapid gentrification in the 2000s.

Lifestyle

Queen Street East is the main commercial strip, with a mix of cafes, restaurants and vintage and design shops, and former industrial spaces now used as film studios.

Housing & property types

Housing is largely Victorian-era workers' cottages and semi-detached homes, with former industrial buildings along Carlaw Avenue converted to lofts.

Shopping & dining

Queen Street East anchors dining and shopping, and the Gerrard India Bazaar to the north adds South Asian retail and food.

Parks & recreation

Local parks include Maple Leaf Forever Park, home to the historic Maple Cottage, and Leslie Grove Park.

Schools

The area is served by the Toronto District School Board.

Getting around

The 501 Queen and 502/503 streetcars run along Queen Street East, connecting the neighbourhood to downtown.

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks include the Ashbridge Estate and the historic Russell Carhouse streetcar facility on Queen Street.

Who it may suit

May suit young families and professionals wanting character houses and a walkable cafe strip in the east end.

Buying a home in Leslieville

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.
