Leaside Neighbourhood Real Estate Information
The Leaside Neighbourhood is between Bayview and a bend in the Don River, and has some of the most expensive real estate in Toronto for its access to recreation, shopping, and transit. The area was settled by American immigrant farmer John Lea in 1819, who along with his son built an 1850 octagonal house he named 'Leaside' and the name has stuck. The Town of Leaside was planned and incorporated by the Canadian Northern Railway on land acquired from
the Lea family, to build the first fully pre-planned community in Ontario, with industrial areas east of Laird, and homes to the west. During World War I, the community was the location of heavy artillery plant and a training airfield. After the war, residential development continued. Leaside's status as a Town came to an end in 1967 when it became part of the Borough of East York, which has since amalgamated with the City of Toronto. More.....
