Leaside

From Railway Town to Ravine-Side Living

⭐ Heritage & Architecture

Leaside takes its name from the Lea family and evolved from early farms and rail industry into a leafy, upscale neighbourhood. Expect Tudor, Cape Cod and Revival influences alongside tasteful renovations and new custom builds.

⚡ Modern Transformation

North along Eglinton, new mid-rise and condo projects add convenience, while Bayview Avenue retains its independent-shop character. The Crosstown LRT improves east-west access across midtown.
