The Christie Pits neighbourhood is a history-rich, vibrant, multicultural part of the city of Toronto offering many conveniences, which makes it an attractive place to purchase real estate.
Christie Pits Park, for which the area is named after (also known as Willowvale Park), serves as a focal point for the neighbourhood and offers a wide array of recreational amenities including: reputable baseball diamonds (home of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team), a pool with water slide, basketball courts, and playground. For history buffs, the are got its name from William Mellis Christie, one of the founders of the popular Mr. Christie cookie company.
Overall it is a worthwhile area to consider for residential real estate. Christie and Ossington subway stations are nearby, making downtown and the rest of Toronto quite accessible. There are also schools and large shopping malls close by.
