Leaside Homes

Set on comfortably sized lots right in the middle of Toronto, you will find the lovely homes of Leaside.

Most homes in Leaside are traditional two-story designs dating from the 1930s and 1940s.  Houses are typically detached and constructed of all-brick, with distinctive intermixing of cut stone around entrances and front bay windows.  Eye-catching exterior details frequently seen on Leaside homes are leaded glass windows, a variety of arched and peaked entryways, and broad wooden door casings.  House interiors display artisanship in their traditional wooden mouldings, baseboards, and floors.

Find Your Leaside Dream Home

The community’s well-regarded schools, respectably sized homes, and myriad of recreation facilities have attracted upper-middle class families to Leaside for decades.  As has happened in popular neighbourhoods throughout Toronto, Leaside real estate prices have pushed skyward, resulting in $900,000 becoming a common entry point for North Leaside homes.   South Leaside offers some more economical alternatives, including semis and bungalows closer to $500,000.
 
Although Leaside was part of the former borough of East York, I find homes in Leaside more closely tie-in with neighbouring North Toronto communities such as Davisville Village, and even Moore Park to some degree.  Regardless of political boundary technicalities, residents in Leaside and surrounding areas enjoy numerous conveniences, such as easy access to downtown Toronto via the Bayview Extension and Yonge Subway (by way of Eglinton and Davisville Stations), and superb dining and shopping at Bayview Avenue’s many restaurants and boutiques.  The collection of maternity and child-oriented stores on Bayview, south of Eglinton, caters to the multitude of young families in the neighbourhoods.  Home Depot, Best Buy, Urban Barn and a handful of other large-format retailers feature locations near Laird and Eglinton, sparing residents from trekking to more suburban locales.

Leaside Real Estate Boundaries

Leaside spans from Laird Drive west to Bayview Avenue, and from Sunnybrook Park down to Moore Avenue and Southvale Drive to the south.

Leaside Homes are located in Toronto Real Estate Board District C11
