THREE FEATURES OF THE HOOD Wychwood Park Artscape Wychwood Barns is a community cultural hub that opened in 2008. Here, a dynamic mix of arts, culture, food, and urban agriculture, environmental, and other community activities and initiatives come together to provide a new lease on life for a century-old former streetcar repair facility.
St. Clair & Christie Area The home at 75 Greensides Avenue is a hop-skip-and jump from the Arlington Streetcar stop, and just a few minutes walk from St. Clair & Christie. Christie Street is an easy corridor to bicycle, walk, or drive down to Bloor Street. The area is absolutely filled with cafes, restaurants, shopping, and sight-seeing. No wonder real estate prices have skyrocketed here in recent years.
Humewood Park Another area park is Humewood Park. Humewood Park is just north of St Clair, a block from the McDonalds at Christie. This is a great park for toddler sized humans and their caregivers. The treed park features a rubberized grounds surrounding a unique play structure of fun slides and climbing doo-dads (plus the obligatory swings:) There is also a picnic table and a smattering of park benches. A great place to tire out the kids on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
ABOUT HILLCREST VILLAGE Hillcrest Village is a traditional Toronto neighbourhood well known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and irregular terrain. The neighbourhood comprises a wide variety of houses, including some from the end of 1800s as well as early 1900s. Thanks to the area's low traffic, Hillcrest boasts a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, reminiscent of life outside the city, even though it's just 15 minutes from Toronto’s financial district. Due to its proximity to the city centre, fine neighbourhood amenities, and peaceful streets, Hillcrest Village has become a popular destination for families with children. Location Located at the northernmost tip of the City of Toronto, Hillcrest Village encompasses two neighbourhoods known as Humewood, located north of St. Clair Avenue West, and Hillcrest, located south of St. Clair Avenue West. It's bordered by Davenport Road to the south, Oakwood Avenue to the west, Vaughan Road to the north, and Bathurst Street to the east. History A reformer from England, Robert John Turner, was the first to establish a settlement in Hillcrest in the 1840s. What was once the Turner estate transformed into a small village by the end of the 19th century. The majority of the population of Bracondale Village, located at the intersection of Christie and Davenport, were farmers, and the first postmaster was Robert Turner’s son, Frank. In the beginning of the 20th century, the City of Toronto annexed Bracondale Village and Frank Turner’s heirs divided the Bracondale estate, making an exclusive subdivision called Bracondale Hill Park. However, in 1937, the Turner family lost their Bracondale ownership and the City demolished their estate in order to create space for Hillcrest Park.

ABOUT THE AGENT
A
prairie boy from Saskatchewan who moved to Toronto 22 years ago, Jim's family instilled in him the pioneer work ethic. "Start the day early, work hard, a handshake means something - if you live life this way, you will enjoy an abundant harvest." At 17, Jim started his first company, successfully selling it later at age 24. Then Jim totally switched directions, joining a small Quebec based start-up, and helping to drive sales growth, first in Canada, then across the USA. He credits those days with teaching him the art of negotiation, a skill which he uses everyday to the benefit of his clients.
In the early 2000's Jim went back to school, studying Marketing at Ryerson University. The marketing expertise he gained is another plank explaining why his clients homes tend to sell for more money, in a shorter period of time, with the most favourable terms. Jim is a Realtor you can trust implicitly, he has the skills you need, and the experience you want. His professional guidance will help you to make the best possible decisions, whether you are buying or selling real estate in Toronto.
