Demographically, the Leaside community is made up predominantly of single-family homes housing upper-middle class families. The most famous house in Leaside is James Leas, located at 201 Sutherland Drive.
Built in 1909, it is unique in that the back of the house faces Sutherland Drive. It was originally built to face a street that no longer exists.
The 22nd and current Prime Minister Stephen Harper was also born and raised in Leaside. Due to city expansion, Leaside has become prime real estate with the Greater Toronto Area. Recently a home on Leasides prime street sold for over two million dollars, a record for this neighbourhood.
