Neighbourhood overview
What is it like living in Leslieville?
Leslieville runs along Queen Street East in Toronto's east end, where Victorian workers' cottages and semi-detached houses sit behind a main street of independent restaurants, design shops and cafes. It has changed quickly over two decades while keeping a low-rise, walkable character.
The neighbourhood is well served by the 501 Queen streetcar, close to the Beaches and the eastern waterfront, and increasingly shaped by film-studio and waterfront development to its south.

Education
What schools are in Leslieville?
Schools marked Home school are the ones the Toronto District School Board assigns to addresses here, read from its own attendance areas. A neighbourhood usually spans more than one. Catholic and French boards draw their own boundaries. Boards assign a home school per address, so two houses on the same street can be served differently, and boundaries, programs and enrolment rules change. Look up your exact address with the board before it matters.
