Craigleigh Gardens

Located at 160 South Drive is Craigleigh Gardens, 13 acres of parkland with an off-leash area for dogs.  In 1876, a 25 room Victorian house was built on the site and became home to wealthy businessman Sir Edmund Osler for the next 47 years.  After his death in 1924, the house was torn down and the well manicured land was donated to the city creating this attractive park.

Understanding Co-ops (Co-operatives)
A co-op is a form of home ownership that in a sense is a hybrid of a condominium.   A private corporation is formed that owns and manages the entire building on behalf of its shareholders.  Shareholders are given exclusive rights to occupy a specific suite or unit and have shared rights with other shareholders in the building with respect to the common areas and overall management decisions.  Unlike a condo where a buyer obtains ownership to a unit by way of a deed registered on title, in a co-op, a buyer owns shares in the Co-operative Corporation giving them exclusive use of their suite.   Also, unlike a condo, a mortgage cannot be obtained on a co-op unit however it may be possible for a buyer or shareholder to pledge their shares as collateral security to obtain financing offered through specific lenders with a minimum down payment of 35%-40%.  Like condos, the buyer or shareholder of a co-op unit is assessed their share of the common expenses paid as a monthly maintenance fee which will also includes the taxes.  Co-ops are also governed by a Board of Directors whose member consist of shareholders but co-operatives do not fall under the Condominium Act as they have their own by-laws, rules and articles of incorporation.  The main advantage of co-ops is they are often more affordable than comparable condominium units.
