While Leslieville has retained its small village character, it has also been revitalized by the Hollywood North studio district along Eastern Avenue. In recent years Leslieville has become popular with young professionals looking for good value in a neighbourhood close to the downtown core.
Leslieville's older houses along Queen Street, and south to Eastern Avenue were built in the late 1800's. They include Ontario Cottages, Second Empire row houses and Victorian houses.
Leslieville's second generation of houses, north of Queen Street, were built in the early 1900's. This district includes modest detached and semi-detached houses as well as a large number of bungalows. Leslieville’s newest housing stock includes a variety of condominiums and lofts, many built in former industrial buildings.
Leslieville's main shopping district runs along historic Queen Street. Most of these stores are small independently owned shops that cater to the specific needs of the local residents.
The area on Gerrard Street East between Greenwood Avenue and Coxwell Avenue is known as the “India Bazaar” as this is the commercial centre of Toronto's East Indian community with a number of shops and restaurants. |
