Welcome to Leslieville...

With its new restaurants, bars, pubs, and shops cropping up, Leslieville is quickly becoming not just family-friendly, but also one of the newest hip neighbourhoods. Leslieville has quickly become a destination for Torontonians looking for great cafés and brunch options as well as vintage furniture and fashion.

The Good News

Leslieville is truly one of the up-and-coming neighbourhoods, providing family-friendly parks and restaurants as well as new and hip pubs and bars that continue to grow throughout. Leslieville is quickly becoming a destination for local Toronto visitors as well as many new families and artists taking part in the newly acquired night life.

The Bad News

There are several large public housing complexes in the neighbourhood that were erected in the 1960s and 1970s. Sadly, due to poor original design, they have fallen into some disrepair, but the City of Toronto is working to renovate these buildings as soon as possible.

Homes, Architecture, and Real Estate

The older homes in the neighbourhood can be found along Queen Street East and to the south of Eastern Avenue. Here the homes were built in the late 19th century, with architectural styles ranging from the Ontario Cottage style to Second Empire row homes. You will also be able to find Victorian houses in the area.

A second generation of homes built in the early 1900s can be found north of Queen Street, consisting of detached and semi-detached homes. Also be on the lookout for the area’s bungalows, typically the smallest in the city.
