Leslieville

Leslieville still feels very much like a small village. Its cozy houses, quaint stores, and tree-lined streets, seem surprisingly serene and peaceful considering Leslieville’s close proximity to downtown Toronto. Its boundaries stretch east of the Don River, bounded by the railway line and Gerrard Street to the north, Empire Avenue to the west, Eastern Avenue to the south and Coxwell Avenue to the east.

THE STATS (Scored out of 100)

In Riverside, everything old is new again. There's a renewed pride of ownership in the community that's evident in the area's award-winning beautification and revitalization projects, that includes new pedestrian lighting and facade restoration.

There's still a gritty urban charm to the neighbourhood; some would describe the area as Bohemian due to the eclectic and artsy businesses along Queen Street, and mingling of people from all walks of life.
