Leaside Homes

Leaside was first settled by John Lea, a pioneer farmer who emigrated to Canada from Lancashire, England, via Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1819.  The neighbourhood gets its name from an octagonal-shaped house build by Lea’s eldest son near the present day site of Leaside Memorial Gardens.
Leaside is one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Toronto and is in especially high demand with upper middle income families who value this neighbourhood as an ideal place to raise children. Leaside has abundant greenspace and parkland, a fine election of schools, one of Toronto's best shopping districts on Bayview Avenue, and excellent access to public transit.

Leaside's Tudor-style houses were built largely in the 1930's and 1940's and most of the houses contain beautiful wood trim, hardwood floors, and a working fireplace.  The typical Leaside house is situated on a generous size lot with a private drive and a garage. 

There is a good mix of two-story detached homes, bungalows, and semi-detached houses. A growing number of the bungalows have had second story additions, while others have been replaced by new custom designed homes.  
With all the available amenities, Leaside real estate offers new residents a lot of opportunities to live the good life.
