wow…up until yesterday, I thought Leslieville was the way to go, considering queen & king west rpices are far too high.
Having said this, and having read everyone’s comments, what do you think is a good up and coming neighbourhood in the Toronto area? I really don’t want to go suburbs!

Thanks!

Danny says: “the last time I checked Leslieville is nowhere near the treatment plant.” “Leslievilleâ€™s real boundaries are just west of Carlaw along Queen Street to Greenwood”

Danny, the Ashbridge’s Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant is not at Coxwell and Eastern. The park at that corner, which includes sports facilities and some nice landscaping, is called Pumphouse Park. It is part of the treatment plant’s 100 acre property, but the main odour producing treatment facility is south-west from there and the address is 9 Leslie Street. It is west of Greenwood, east of Carlaw, and south of Queen, which places in firmly on the boundaries of Leslieville as you described them.

You can certainly debate it’s affect on property values, but it’s absolutely incorrect to say “Leslieville is nowhere near the treatment plant”.

Terra, the treatment plant your refering too is located at Coxwell and Eastern Avenue. Which is less than 1 km from million dollar homes in Woodbine park. That right million dollar homes. Leslieville’s real boundaries are just west of Carlaw along Queen Street to Greenwood. I have worked in the area for over 10 years Leslieville is on the move and the direction is – upwards!
