Goffs Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Goffs is a community to buy a house in for those who prefer a laid-back atmosphere. Goffs is a great area for those who don't mind some noise, as traffic during rush hour can occasionally be bothersome. Green spaces aren't well-distributed, making them very difficult to reach from many locations in the community. Despite that, there are a few parks nearby for residents to enjoy, like Waverley - Salmon River Long Lake Wilderness Area.

Transportation

The car is very often the preferred transportation option in this community. Many real estate listings are a very short drive from the nearest highway, and it is very easy to park. However, the public transit service in Goffs is not very frequent. Nevertheless, homeowners are served by a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is generally a short walk away. Many of the homes for sale in this community are located in places that are not very suitable for people who like to travel on foot since meeting daily needs is practically impossible without a car. Getting around by bicycle is also very difficult in Goffs because there are a good number of hills to challenge cyclists, and the cycling infrastructure is quite bad.

Housing

Around one third of properties in Goffs were constructed following the year 2000, while many of the remaining buildings were constructed in the 1960s and the 1980s. The predominant housing types in this area are single detached homes and townhouses. Homeowners occupy nearly 95% of the properties in Goffs whereas the rest are rented. This community also has a choice of housing size options - notably, this part of Halifax is good for those looking for three bedroom homes.

Services

In all but a very small number of cases, a car is needed to purchase groceries. There are a few options for those who appreciate close by restaurants. As far as education is concerned, Goffs does not have any high schools or primary schools. Likewise, families may find it very hard to reach daycares as pedestrians.
