81 Billings Avenue For Sale Prime Leslieville
Leslieville is one of the most desirable east end neighbourhoods. It offers so much for the hip city-dweller and is also a great family neighbourhood. From quaint cafes to top restaurants and bars, it has easy access to transit and epic greenspace. The family-friendly community has a wonderful residential feel and is truly one of the best places to live in the city that’s close to downtown. It’s a quick streetcar or drive to downtown Toronto and has easy access to the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway (DVP). What’s even more exciting is the proposal for the east end Ontario Line that could be in the works to make this neighbourhood even more accessible and desirable in the future.
Location is one of the biggest factors when purchasing a home and for this property it’s huge!
This home is located on a quiet family-friendly street around the corner from some of the best greenspace in the east end. Greenwood Park is a 6.2-hectare park north of Dundas St E running along Greenwood Avenue. It features two baseball diamonds, a multipurpose sports field, an off-leash dog park, a community garden, an outdoor chess table and table tennis, a splash pad and a children’s playground. There’s also an outdoor pool in the summer months and the city’s first covered outdoor artificial ice rink. It’s available for winter skating and ball hockey in the summer. One more thing. There’s an ice-skating trail beside the rink for your skating pleasure. Greenwood Park offers so much for all age groups no wonder it’s one of the top parks in urban Toronto. Billings Avenue is close to Dundas St E, Queen St E and not far from Danforth Avenue providing walking access to streetcars and subway, shopping, dining and more. The Lake Shore Blvd East grocery centre is only a 2-minute drive away. The schools are within walking distance with wonderful child-care facilities close by. It’s a great location no doubt about it.

About the Neighbourhood | Leslieville
Leslieville used to be full of factories, but they are all gone now, drastically reducing the pollution in the air and making the neighbourhood much more appealing. However, some of the old factories have been turned into large film studios such as Cinevillage, Showline Studios and Pinewood Film Studios, creating a hip and happening feel to the area. Old homes that were falling into disrepair have been snapped up and renovated by singles, young professionals and families galore who realized that the tree-lined streets are safe and within 15 minutes of downtown. Plus, there’s batch of condo loft conversions. Leslieville feels like a village, its main street Queen East. The variety of shops is both high end and quirky. Restaurants, designer clothes, coffee houses, food stores, bakeries, antique and furniture stores, florists, and yes, fish and chip stores from the past make for one of the most interesting walks in the city. But to enjoy it you have to park your car and get out on foot – like the locals.
