Greenhill Real Estate & Houses for Sale
Greenhill has a character that caters to a fairly diverse group of people. Greenhill is reasonably quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour, however some areas can be quite loud, especially around the airport (Peterborough (Civic Hospital) Heliport). On the other hand, it is easy to get to public green spaces in the neighbourhood since there are approximately 30 of them close by for residents to enjoy. Finally, even though the ambience is not the liveliest in this part of Peterborough with the bars in nearby neighbourhoods, it is easy to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located within walking distance.
Transportation
The bike is a reasonably good method of transportation in this area. Greenhill is also fairly well-suited for people who travel by foot; many daily needs can be met without a vehicle. Public transit users may experience few options in this area due to the infrequent service. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties. However, cars are a very good mode of transportation in this part of Peterborough. It is easy to park.
Housing
Around 60% of the population of this neighbourhood rent their home and 40% are owners. Over half of the housing stock of this part of Peterborough is made up of single detached homes and large apartment buildings, while small apartment buildings are also present in the housing stock. Around 45% of properties in this neighbourhood were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This part of the city has a good selection of unit sizes, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms.
Services
The nearest grocery store in Greenhill is usually only a short trip away. In addition, Greenhill is a fairly good place in which to eat out or go to a cafe. It is also easy to access a selection of clothing stores by foot. When it comes to education, it is a short trip to reach daycares and primary schools from most properties for sale in Greenhill. In contrast, there are only a few high schools and accordingly they can be a rather long distance away.
