Gentrification accelerated post-2005 as young families priced out of Riverdale moved east. Today it's one of Toronto's most in-demand family submarkets for buyers who want detached + semi-detached inventory at a small discount to Riverdale.

For regional context, the Greater Toronto townhouse benchmark is $687,300 as of the May 2026 release. A licensed advisor can pull current Leslieville listings and recent comparables from the MLS® on request.
