The commercial district of Queen Street East lies at the heart of The Beaches community.
It is characterized by a large number of independent specialty stores.
The stores along Queen are known to change tenants quite often causing the streetscape to change from year to year, sometimes drastically.
Before Woodbine, Queen street has less traffic and is effectively reduced to one lane each way (the outer lanes are used for on-street parking).
The centre lanes are also used by the 501 streetcar, causing slight delays at streetcar stops and traffic lights.
From Fallingbrook to Victoria Park Avenue, Queen Street East is located in Scarborough, the easternmost part of Toronto.
Around the intersection with Vicotoria Park, the south side of the street is beside the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, a crucial water treatment plant for both Toronto and York Region.
