ABOUT Queensville
Queensville
The Community of Queensville is a small unincorporated community in the Town of East Gwillimbury, York Region, Ontario, Canada. Queensville is a charming and evolving village in the northern part of East Gwillimbury, within York Region.Nestled at the crossroads of Leslie Street and Queensville Sideroad, it lies just east of Highway 404 and includes a historic church, cemetery, fire hall, community centre, park, tennis courts and a softball diamond Originally named Hackett's Corners and renamed in 1843 to honour Queen Victoria, it retains a quaint village charm even as the region prepares for rapid growth . Historically quiet and close-knit, Queensville is now experiencing a thoughtfully planned transformation, with new residential developments nestled among farmland, forests, and rolling hills. Its character reflects a peaceful rural past with a promising, people-centered future.
🏛️ Rich Heritage & Culture
- Queensville’s heritage roots run deep. Steeped in history, Queensville was originally known as Hackett’s Corners before being renamed in 1843 in honour of Queen Victoria. This long-standing community retains glimpses of its past through beautifully preserved 19th-century farmhouses, the heritage-designated Queensville Schoolhouse, and an old railway station turned residence—a nod to its connection with the former Metropolitan Street Railway line. Cultural life here is community-driven, often centred around the Queensville Community Centre, local churches, and seasonal events. It’s a place where old-fashioned values still thrive—neighbours know each other, volunteers are plenty, and heritage is woven into daily life. The original crossroads hamlet featured a general store, mills, hotel, and post office. Some 19th-century heritage homes remain among modern subdivisions A preserved former radial railway station dating to 1908, later converted to a private residence, stands as a testament to the community's rail-linked past .
🌳 Outdoor Recreation & Green Spaces
Nature and recreation go hand in hand in Queensville. Residents enjoy access to numerous green spaces, including the Queensville Park, which features tennis courts, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and room to roam. Trails wind through nearby forests and farmland, offering stunning views year-round. As part of East Gwillimbury's trail network, Queensville is connected to Holland Landing, Sharon, and beyond—ideal for hiking, cycling, and even snowshoeing in winter. Plans for additional parkland, walking paths, and naturalized stormwater ponds in future developments ensure the area retains its green charm as it grows. The heart of the community includes a well‑appointed park with tennis courts, playgrounds and a softball diamond, plus ball fields and trails. East Gwillimbury’s Strategic Master Plan identifies the need for more parks, trails, arenas, ice surfaces, skate pads, and aquatic facilities as population expands Queensville is also conveniently close to regional conservation areas accessible via Highway 404.
🍿 Unique Local Attractions
While small in size, Queensville has its own unique flair. Though now closed, the beloved Queensville Antique Mall lives on in memory as a destination that once drew visitors from across Ontario. Local artisans, farm stands, and pop-up markets bring character and colour to the area throughout the seasons. Annual events like East Gwillimbury’s "Tapestry of Taste" and cultural fairs often see strong participation from the Queensville community.
🛍️ Essentials & Convenient Amenities
- Queensville offers the essentials for daily living while remaining just minutes from larger commercial centres. Within the village, you’ll find a general store, auto services, daycare, veterinary clinic, and a cozy diner where locals gather. More robust amenities—including big box stores, medical clinics, and high schools—are only a short drive away in Sharon or Newmarket. Residents also benefit from nearby libraries, sports facilities, community programs, and schools within the York Region District and Catholic School Boards. For families, retirees, and remote workers alike, it strikes a rare balance of peace and practicality.
🚗 Connectivity & Growth
- Strategically located along the Highway 404 corridor, Queensville is ideal for commuters, with the East Gwillimbury GO Station just minutes away and rapid access to Highway 407, Newmarket, Aurora, and Toronto. It’s also one of the four urban growth centres within East Gwillimbury, slated to accommodate up to 30,000 new residents through planned communities that prioritize walkability, sustainability, and livability. The vision includes new schools, parks, retail hubs, and transit enhancements. With fibre internet expansion underway, Queensville is quickly becoming both future-ready and family-friendly. Located just east of Highway 404, this rural-urban blend is perched between the more suburban Sharon and Keswick, offering residents the best of both worlds: serene countryside landscapes and easy access to city amenities.
Why Queensville Stands Out
- Queensville offers a unique blend of heritage warmth and forward-focused design. It’s a place where you can raise a family beside forest trails, retire with serenity, or enjoy the pride of homeownership in a growing, supportive community. Residents appreciate the open skies, safe streets, and sense of belonging. With the perfect mix of tranquility, recreation, accessibility, and upcoming modern conveniences, Queensville is no longer just a quiet village—it’s a rising star in York Region’s real estate landscape. Whether you're looking for your forever home or your next chapter, Queensville has a place for you.
