Neighbourhood: North Leaside

Part of historic Leaside, North Leaside is the defined as the part of the community north of Eglinton Avenue (between Bayview Avenue and Serena Gundy Park).

The many side streets here are lined with Tudor-style detached and semi-detached homes and bungalows with some new homes appearing recently. The neighbourhood is rather pretty owing to the nearby parks, including Serena Gundy Park and the large Sunnybrook Park, as well as the old oak trees that sit on nearly every generously sized property.
