Located in the heart of artsy, eclectic Leslieville in Toronto’s east end, Chartwell Avondale has proudly served the community for over 20 years. Our retirement residence is nestled above a retail complex with professional services like a dental clinic, banks, and a beloved local bakery. Just steps outside your door, Queen Street offers easy access to independent shops, diverse restaurants, art galleries, live music venues, and cafés, while nearby Ashbridges Bay and Woodbine Beach provide scenic spots for relaxation. From community festivals to colourful street murals, the neighbourhood reflects the area’s creative, inclusive spirit and invites exploration at every turn.

Tucked into the corner of Queen Street East and Leslie Street, with a streetcar stop at our front door, Chartwell Avondale is located in one of Toronto’s most vibrant and trendy neighbourhoods, with its own distinct charm and village-like feel. A mix of families, single professionals, and original residents, Leslieville is also a wonderful choice for seniors, with its array of independent shops, banks, pharmacies, and health and wellness clinics lining bustling Queen Street—not to mention galleries, restaurants, and pubs. You can also find a quiet enclave in nearby Leslie Grove or Maple Leaf Forever parks, or the sandy shores of Tommy Thompson Park on Lake Ontario, just a 20-minute walk away.
