Leslieville History

Leslieville began as a small village back in the 1850's. The village grew up around the Toronto Nurseries owned by George Leslie and sons, after whom this neighbourhood is named. Most of Leslieville's residents were either market gardeners or were employed at one of several brick making companies that used to operate in the area. One of the first buildings in the village was the Leslieville Public School, built in 1863. Leslieville's first principal was Alexander Muir who composed "The Maple Leaf Forever". Muir's poetic verse was inspired when a brilliant autumn maple leaf fell from a Leslieville tree onto his jacket. That maple tree is still standing today and has become Leslieville's most famous landmark. It is designated by an historic plaque at the intersection of Laing Street and Memory Lane.

Overview

The green and white Leslieville street signs that run along Queen Street were installed in 1987. These historic markers are symbolic of a renewed interest and pride in Leslieville among the residents of this quiet east end neighbourhood.

Leslieville, still feels very much like a small village. It's cozy houses, quaint stores, and tree lined streets, seem surprisingly serene and peaceful considering Leslieville's close proximity to downtown Toronto.

H O M E S

Leslieville's older houses along Queen Street, and south to Eastern Avenue were built in the late 1800's. They include Ontario Cottages, Second Empire row houses and Victorian houses.

Leslieville's second generation of houses, north of Queen Street, were built in the early 1900's. This district includes modest detached and semi-detached houses as well as a large number of bungalows, that are among the tiniest houses in Toronto.

S H O P P I N G

Leslieville's main shopping district runs along historic Queen Street. Most of these stores are small independently owned shops that cater to the specific needs of the local residents.

The area on Gerrard Street East between Greenwood Avenue and Coxwell Avenue is known as the ïIndia Bazaar'. This is the commercial centre of Toronto's East Indian community. The smell of incense and the sound of music provide an exotic backdrop to the shops on this street.

The clothing stores sell imported silk fabrics, and the restaurant vendors barbecue spicy corn on the cob out on the sidewalk.

R E C R E A T I O N

Greenwood Park has three baseball diamonds, an artificial ice rink, a pool, and a playground. The Jonathan Ashbridge Park on the south side of Queen Street features two tennis courts, a children's playground, and a wading pool.

The S.H. Armstrong Community Recreation Centre on Woodfield Road, has a gymnasium, an indoor pool, a fitness room, a craft room and meeting rooms.

The Gerrard/Ashdale Public Library has a wide variety of programs for children, adults and seniors.

Thank you Alex for your efforts in the recent sale of our home. You met and exceeded our wishes by selling it quickly and for above-list price. When you told us most of your listings sell in 10 days we never dreamt that would be the case - but it was! Your tech savy presentation, marketing plan and follow through were remarkable and your referrals for floor refinishers, cleaning and lawyers were much appreciated and made this process easier. Our sincere thanks to you and your team!

Hi Alex,

It was a real pleasure to work with you on this. As you can imagine after so long in the house and the parents finally making a decision to sell, it became a very anxious time for them as well as for us. However, you were very helpful, responsive, always kept us posted and helped to answer any questions we had. We were also very impressed that you had a strategy all figured out in which to sell the home. Thank you so much for all your help with this Alex. It has been a little over a week since we initially contacted you and I speak for all of us when I say that you have reaffirmed that we made the right decision to contact you and not someone else. Thank You!

If you're looking for a Real Estate Agent who's professional, courteous, and goes over and above the call of duty for his clients look no further than Mr. Alex Prasoulis. Alex was first recommended to me by a long time neighbor who was moving and selling their home. She praised his integrity and work ethic and it was for this reason that I chose him as my realtor, despite the fact that there was already one living in my own neighborhood. I sincerely appreciate Alex's patience and understanding. When I first spoke with him, I was still in the midst of a divorce, which ended up taking 3 years to complete. Alex stuck with me and maintained communication throughout the process, giving me the time I needed. When the house finally went up for sale, it took Alex less than two weeks to sell it at above asking price. I am extremely grateful to him for all his hard work, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an easy and positive experience in selling their home.
