Information on Leslieville Neighbourhood
Leslieville is a fun-filled area for families and young individuals alike. The neighbourhood perfectly blends vintage buildings, Victorian-style cul de sacs, vibrant restaurants, bars and boutiques, and a panorama view of the Don River and Old Toronto.
The colourful streets add personality and flair to those who call it home. Compared to other high-end areas of Toronto, the pace of living here is slower, more relaxed, but is still just a stone’s throw away from central Toronto, Chinatown, and the Beach Triangle. When the weather is just right, take a drive to Woodbine Beach, a short 5-minute drive from centre Leslieville, or a 23-minute walk from the bustling Queen Street.
Residents enjoy a slower pace of life here, with safe, secure, and well-maintained parks, and recreational areas such as Greenwood Park, Matty Eckler Community Recreation Centre, Leslie Grove Park, and the Main Sewage Treatment Playground. Green areas are sporadically placed between homes, and busy streets, combining community orientation, family values, and a feeling of downtown living for young individuals.
