Riversdale is the other neighbourhood worth comparing, since its older, unrenovated housing stock can undercut City Park on price, though Riversdale prices vary block to block more than almost anywhere else in the city because of the redevelopment happening there.
Both neighbourhoods trade below the citywide benchmark of $444,700 on their less-renovated properties, which is exactly what makes them accessible, but a first-time buyer should budget for a home inspection, typically $400 to $600, since older housing stock in both areas can carry deferred maintenance.
A specific address matters more than the neighbourhood label once you are comparing two homes this close in price.
