Pleasantville is a neighbourhood in the east end of the city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It extends from the north side of Quidi Vidi Lake, northward to Newfoundland Drive, and is largely made up of apartment blocks. Pleasantville is the former site of the United States military's Fort Pepperrell and, later, Pepperrell Air Force Base, which closed in 1961. Many of the buildings originally constructed by the US military in 1941 have been demolished, and others converted to affordable housing and apartments.
