The Community

Morning sun dapples the ample front porch as you greet the friendly Leslie’s on their pilgrimage to the best resto’s, bakeries, shops, bars and parks! Make new friends and new memories in this fun summer nest!

Just a quick skip to the hip tip of Leslieville. Daily shopping, café culture, and purveyors of the funky and fine. This home is enhanced by a convenient urban village life. Favourites along Queen East include La Paella, Greta Solomon’s, Completo, Kibo Sushi, Pilot Coffee, and for those who crave something sweet, the always enticing Bobbette and Belle Bakery.

At the end of your laneway is the best kept secret in Leslieville: Hideaway Park. Home to a playground, doggie park, impromptu skating rink and other community generated events and features! Shhhh. Meanwhile, Leslie Grove Park is just around the corner and a favourite haunt for kiddies. Greenwood Park is up two blocks and has something for everyone: Two lit ball diamonds, multipurpose sports field, a massive off-leash dog area, community garden, splash pad and children's playground, outdoor pool and Toronto’s first covered outdoor artificial ice rink (winter skating and summer ball hockey). There is also a pleasure ice skating trail - perfect for learning to skate in the winter and ride a bike in the summer!

This is the ideal location for nature, water and fitness lovers. It’s just a short stroll, bike, or blade away from the sanctuary of Leslie Spit and the sun and fun of the Beach. Imagine, a location with accessible cardio cleansing, contemplation and day-dreaming just steps from your door! So too, bike lanes and 24-hour street car. For those plotting a quick escape: Queen East to the DVP ramp or Carlaw to Lake Shore Boulevard for easy access to the  Gardiner Expressway… but who would want to leave this lovely home?
