Biblio Lofts 761 Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4M 1H3

To describe South Riverdale, we can say it's a developing town that is steeped in history yet undeniably modern. Leslieville (often called South Riverdale) offers a calming small-town vibe with excellent access to Toronto's developed area. It is perfectly placed on the east side of the Don River and south of Gerrard Street. You can easily spot the mix of old and new in the building of homes and trendy amenities offered. The streets here are lined with trees, and there’s a real sense of community. Additionally, the lakeside views throughout the neighbourhood make it a perfect place to sit and relax.

South Riverdale has a population of around 25,000 people. It's a diverse community with a mix of ages and backgrounds. Numerous parks, restaurants, funky cafes and coffee shops are filled all over the area. And how can we forget about the art galleries and theatres that ensure there’s always something artsy going on.

For families concerned, there are several good schools in the area, like Morse Street Junior Public School and Riverdale Collegiate Institute. Plus, there are libraries and community centres offering programmes for all ages. The public transit system is super convenient, too. Streetcars and buses can take you downtown quickly. If you drive, the DVP (Don Valley Parkway) is close, making commutes easy.
