LESLIEVILLE The new Trendy Place to Live in Toronto Ontario with quaint homes, houses and some Leslieville real estate properties are over 100 years old. This Toronto urban chic location is a hip and cool place to live with new families moving into the area.

It began as a small Village in the 1850's around the George Leslie & Sons Nurseries.  This is how it got its name.  One of the first buildings was the Leslieville Public School and its first Principal Alexander Muir composed "The Maple Leaf Forever".  It was inspired by a Maple Leaf landing on his jacket.  That Maple Tree still stands today at Laing Street and Memory Lane.  It has become Leslieville's most cherish and famous landmark and has been designated with its own Historical Plaque.  The Wall above has been painted to commemorate Mr. Muir and The Maple Leaf.

Leslieville is identified South of the Tracks just North of Gerrard, West of Coxwell Avenue, North of Eastern Avenue and East of Carlaw. Green Symbolic street signs proudly announce Leslieville Real Estate Neighbourhood.

Leslieville's Residential Real Estate consists of Detached, Semi-Detached, Townhouses, Row Houses, Condos and Lofts. Styles range from Cottages, Second Empire Row houses and Victorian Homes and Houses that were built in the 1900's.  This Toronto Real Estate Neighbourhood contains some of the smallest and tiniest houses and homes in Toronto.

Leslieville's location is excellent. Close to Queen Street shopping, local restaurants and shops, it's also a short distance to Downtown.   Renewed interest in the Leslieville neighbourhood has attracted popular restaurants, shops, galleries, antique stores and bakeries and chic restaurants to this Toronto Residential area.  Between Gerrard Street East, Greewood & Coxwell Avenues is the "Indian Bazaar", one of the largest East Indian communities and shops, and also the largest ethnic market of Indian goods, fashions, fabrics, jewellery and food in North America.

Much of Leslieville's recreation centers around children. The waterfront is nearby, as are numerous parks including Greenwood Park with its three baseball diamonds, an artificial ice rink, a pool and a playground. The city's best birding spot is the Leslie Spit. Other nearby parks include Withrow & Riverdale Parks.
