Because Buena Vista is a smaller neighbourhood, residents tend to lean on the shops, restaurants and river pathway access in neighbouring Nutana rather than having a large commercial strip of their own, which suits someone who wants quiet streets without giving up nearby amenities.
Older housing stock here means condition varies from house to house more than the address does, so a buyer should treat a home inspection, typically $400 to $600, as essential rather than optional before making an offer.
