Hardwicke Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Hardwicke is exemplified by its relaxed ambience. Hardwicke is great for those who like quiet surroundings, as there are low levels of noise from traffic.

Transportation

Cars are an excellent mode of transportation in Hardwicke. It is very convenient to come across a parking spot. This parish is not very convenient for people who like to get around as pedestrians as most day-to-day needs are very difficult to meet without a car. Even though residents often decide to travel by bike, Hardwicke is also not especially cycling-friendly as there are a fair number of slopes to challenge cyclists, and the bicycling network is not very extensive.

Housing

Homeowners occupy roughly 90% of the units in the parish and 10% are occupied by renters. The predominant housing types in this parish are single detached homes and townhouses. Around 30% of properties in this parish were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This part of Northumberland County is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools in Hardwicke and accordingly they can be a very long stroll away. Moreover, this parish does not contain any primary schools. In addition, it can be very hard to get to daycares as a pedestrian. When it comes to eating, in all but a very small number of cases, a car is needed in Hardwicke to access the nearest grocery store.
