The neighbourhood

A closer look.

Leslieville runs along Queen Street East between Broadview and Coxwell. What was once a stretch of factories and print shops has become one of the city's most coveted addresses — brunch spots, design studios, and Victorian rowhouses.

The neighbourhood suits buyers who want strong resale fundamentals without spending every weekend hunting. The loft market is particularly efficient to assess — ceiling heights and square footage make an immediate case, which is exactly the kind of quick read a busy schedule needs.
