Halifax Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The noise levels in Halifax are very low, as the streets are generally very peaceful. It is occasionally difficult to get to parks within the municipality since they are spread out sporadically. Still, there are over 900 public green spaces nearby for residents to check out.

Transportation

Halifax is especially car friendly. It is very convenient to come across a parking spot. On the other hand, commuting by transit can be difficult in Halifax by reason of the low service level. Nevertheless, there are over 50 bus lines passing through the municipality. Walking is not very practical for house buyers in Halifax since running daily errands is impractical on foot.

Housing

In Halifax, around half of dwellings are single detached homes, while large apartment buildings and small apartment buildings make up most of the remaining housing stock. This municipality offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. Around 60% of the population of this municipality own their home and the rest are renters. About 30% of properties in this municipality were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s.

Services

Some, but not all, house buyers in Halifax will live within walking distance of one of over 150 supermarkets. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about close by restaurants. As far as education is concerned, high schools and primary schools are not particularly numerous in Halifax, and therefore not always within walking distance. Furthermore, it can be challenging to get to daycares on foot.
