Housing and Accommodations
Leslieville’s older houses along Queen Street and south to Eastern Avenue were built in the late 1800s and include Ontario cottages, Second Empire row houses and quaint, Victorian houses. The second generation of houses in Leslieville, built north of Queen Street in the early 1900’s mainly feature semi-detached homes, which account for the majority of the Leslieville homes for sale in this neighbourhood. However, there is still a good selection of detached homes and an increasing number of condos available and the area is an attractive option for singles and couples.

HISTORY OF LESLIEVILLE, TORONTO
Originally a small village in the 1850’s, Leslieville was named after the owners of the Toronto Nurseries, George Leslie and Sons. Most of the first residents were either market gardeners at the Nurseries or were employed at one of several brick making companies that operated in the area. One of the first buildings was the Leslieville Public School, built in 1863.
