Leaside Real Estate in Toronto

A trendy, high-end real estate market in Toronto, Leaside real estatelies to the northeast of Downtown Toronto, offering excellent access to Eglinton Avenue East and Bayview Avenue. The community was named after the first settlers here in the 19th century, the Lea family. John Lea came here from Philadelphia in 1819. His son, William Lea, built a beautiful, unique octagonal home here in the 1850s, and named it Leaside; the property later ‘lending’ its name to the entire community.

Leaside Real Estate Overview

Surrounding communities might be of interest as well:

Predominantly agricultural land, this area developed mainly through the initial years of the 19th century. In 1913, it was incorporated as a town, and in 1967, it, along with the township of East York, formed the borough of East York. It was fairly recently, in 1998, that Leaside officially became part of the city of Toronto.

Leaside holds a significant place in Toronto’s history because it was the First Ontario town to be planned on paper entirely before the actual construction took place. The Airfield here also hosted one of the first-ever airmail flights to take off in Canada. World War I slowed down the residential development in these parts, although military activities still kept the location buzzing with activity.

Today, Leaside has grown into a premium real estate spot in Toronto with a unique attraction for upper-middle-income families. Green spaces, parks, amenities, shopping, schools- Leaside has a lot to offer apart from its excellent access to the rest of Toronto. This family-oriented community is focused on recreation, fitness and community, elements that make it ideal for both seniors and young families.

Who Lives In Leaside Homes

Upper-middle-income families tend to gravitate to this neighbourhood thanks to the schools and access to public transit that it offers. Young professionals are attracted to Leaside owing to its connectivity to the rest of the city, while young families like the open green spaces and the recreation options.

Leaside Houses Are Perfect For

If you are looking for a place that allows you to cut down your commute to the office in a dramatic way, Leaside may perfect for you. The bus service takes you to the St. Clair subway station, and you have access to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line right here. Buses on Bayview and Eglinton Avenues take you to two other stations, Davisville and Eglinton. If you drive down the Bayview extension, you can get to downtown areas in ten minutes and also access many commuter highways. Leaside is a perfect spot for families as well, with its schools and amenities all within easy reach.

Leaside Homes Are Not So Perfect For

If you are looking for budget homes, Leaside may not be the ideal spot for you to settle down. The area is in high demand, and the real estate market tends to be red hot most of the time. With its reputation as a premium location, you can see why homes might be priced above average here.

Life And Style, Amenities And Things To Do In Leaside

Leaside is one neighbourhood that has it all when it comes to leisure and relaxation. Green spaces, sports fields, parks, walking areas, shopping, entertainment- you have it all. The Leaside Memorial Community Gardens is the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about leisure in this community. Located at Millwood Road and Laird Drive, this is a multi-recreational complex, and you have a curling rink, indoor ice arena, swimming pool, plus auditorium here.

To spend some time with family, visit Sunnybrook Park, located just north of Leaside and south of Bridle Path. This park has a few well-maintained sports fields, riding stables and an exercise trail. At Serena Gundy Park, the locals have several fitness activities to enjoy. You will also find nature lovers heading out to this park to take in the beautiful views and vast green spaces. Check out the Ontario Science Centre in nearby Flemingdon Park if you prefer to stay indoors. 

Baseball lovers can head over to Howard Talbot Park for a game with friends. Sports lovers will also be thrilled to know that Trace Manes Park is a great place to go to if tennis is your thing. This park, located off McRae Drive, hosts the Leaside Tennis Club and has six beautifully maintained tennis courts. It also has a playground for kids and a baseball diamond. Towards the year-end, the park’s outdoor natural ice rink is opened to the public.

If you are a shopaholic, you will love Leaside’s Bayview Avenue. A varied collection of shops and restaurants make this a wonderful place to visit. The antique and specialty shops here attract people from all over Toronto. Another shopping area that draws crowds in Leaside is along Eglinton Avenue. Sunnybrook Plaza is the main focal point here, but there are quite a few shops and stores apart from this.

At the corner of Laird Drive and Eglinton Avenue, you have the most recent addition to the neighbourhood, Leaside Centre. Here you have many national retailers, and this has become a common spot for residents to visit.

Leaside Real Estate Market

The real estate market in Leaside is always buzzing, thanks to the immense demand for homes. The variety of homes for sale here, in terms of style, size and features, makes it easy for buyers to find what they need. For example, you have mid-century homes, single-family detached homes, semi-detached homes and sprawling bungalows. There are also quite a few new homes for sale, feature-packed with modern amenities. Custom-made homes are also common here, with buyers asking for specific designs and additions. The older homes may date back to the 1930s and 1940s, and the condos and townhomes were built during the 1990s.
