The neighbourhood grew up around its own commercial strip on the west side, which gives residents grocery stores and everyday shopping within a short drive or walk rather than a trip across the city, a convenience newer suburbs further out do not always have.
Housing stock here tends to be older, so a buyer should treat a real home inspection, typically $400 to $600, as part of the purchase rather than an optional extra, since mechanical systems in a home this age vary house to house more than the street address suggests.
For someone who values an established, walkable west-side neighbourhood over new construction, Confederation Park is worth a look. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
