Broughton Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Broughton is a great community to buy a house in for those who prefer a calm environment. This area is wonderful for those who need quiet surroundings, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic. Finally, although this community is not home to any green spaces, parks are especially well-situated in nearby communities, resulting in them being very easy to get to from most locations within Broughton.

Transportation

This community is very car friendly. It is very easy to find a parking spot. Broughton is not very amenable to bicycling since there are very few bike lanes, and there are a fair number of hills. Most homes for sale in this area are located in places that are also not very well-suited for those who like to travel on foot as almost no common errands can be run without a vehicle.

Housing

Broughton did not experience a single building boom; the construction of new dwellings in the community was spread throughout several decades in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Single detached homes and row houses are the main housing type in this part of Cape Breton Municipality. Nearly 95% of the properties in the community are occupied by homeowners whereas the rest are rented. This community is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

This part of the municipality does not contain any high schools or primary schools. In addition, daycares are not numerous and therefore tend to require a very long trip to get to. With regards to eating, purchasing one's groceries very often demands the use of a vehicle in this area.
