Leaside

Charming | Secluded | Family-friendly

Known for its strong sense of community and incredibly lush surroundings, Leaside feels like a small village within the city. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, it is excellently located and home to one of Toronto’s premier shopping destinations along Bayview Avenue.

Living In Leaside

A diverse community, Leaside is a favourite among well-to-do families, couples, and singles who enjoy the balance of serene living and proximity to a lively shopping and dining scene. Leaside is also home to some of Toronto’s best-performing schools, which is a major draw for parents.

Head to Bayview Avenue’s shopping district for some retail therapy and excellent culinary options like Pii Nong Thai or Darna Middle Eastern Kitchen. Afterwards, you can visit the Lower Don Parklands to enjoy strolling along winding trails and the meandering Don River.

Beyond great shopping, delicious food, and top schools, Leaside attracts residents with its attractive and spacious homes, as well as surrounding greenspaces—including Leaside Park, Ernest Thompson Seton Park, and Seton Ponds—that give the neighbourhood its unique character.

As an active resident, you can take advantage of abundant recreational and outdoor amenities such as the Beltline Trail, sports fields at Sunnybrook Park, and Leaside Memorial Arena. If you love spending time in nature, you’ll appreciate sunny picnics, scenic hikes, or bird watching at Serena Gundy Park.

Commuting to and from this quiet enclave will soon become easier once construction on the Eglinton and Laird LRT lines is complete. Though Leaside feels secluded, it enjoys an excellent location with top-notch amenities.
