Leslieville is one of Toronto’s most beloved east end neighbourhoods, with a rich history dating back to the 1850s. It was named after George Leslie, whose family ran the Toronto Nurseries, and it quickly became home to gardeners and brick factory workers. One of the area’s first schools, built in 1863, had Alexander Muir as principal. He wrote “The Maple Leaf Forever” right here in Leslieville, inspired by a falling leaf on a fall day. That moment is still commemorated at Laing Street and Memory Lane.

Today, Leslieville still feels like a small village tucked into the city. Quiet, tree-lined streets, charming character homes, and locally owned shops give the area its signature personality. Queen Street East is the heart of the neighbourhood, filled with indie boutiques, cafes, brunch spots, and design studios. Just north, Gerrard Street East’s India Bazaar adds a vibrant cultural layer with spice shops, restaurants, and clothing stores selling imported silks.

The homes here range from Victorian and Second Empire styles south of Queen to detached and semi-detached homes and cozy bungalows to the north. Whether you’re drawn to classic architecture or modern updates, Leslieville real estate offers plenty of character.

Locals love the community feel and access to parks like Greenwood and Jonathan Ashbridge, plus the S.H. Armstrong Community Centre and the Gerrard/Ashdale Library for year-round programs. Getting around is easy with streetcar and bus routes connecting to the subway, and quick access to the DVP, Lakeshore, and Gardiner makes getting downtown (or out of town) a breeze.

If you’re looking for a neighbourhood that blends history, community, and convenience, Leslieville continues to be one of Toronto’s most in-demand places to call home.
