Lakeshore Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Lakeshore is a very good neighbourhood to buy a house in for those who prefer a calm ambience. This part of the city is very quiet overall, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic. Finally, most locations in the neighbourhood have reasonably good access to public green spaces, like Environmental Reserve and Laurel Creek Conservation Area, since there are around 30 of them close by for residents to unwind in.

Transportation

The car is very often the best approach to navigate this area. Accessing a parking spot is quite easy, and many real estate listings are a rather short drive from the closest highway. In contrast, commuting by public transit is occasionally challenging in Lakeshore. Nonetheless, the nearest rapid transit station, such as Northfield Station and Research / Technology Station with access to the ION Light Rail, is generally a short distance away from the majority of houses in the neighbourhood. There are a few bus lines crossing the neighbourhood, and bus stops are ordinarily very close by. Active property owners will value the reasonably cycling-friendly character of Lakeshore. For example, there are a good number of bike lanes. In contrast, getting around by foot is not very common in Lakeshore, even though many daily needs can be carried out without needing a vehicle.

Housing

In Lakeshore, around half of buildings are single detached homes, while small apartment buildings are also present in the housing stock. This part of the city offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. The proportions of renters and homeowners are about even. About 70% of the properties in this area were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed 1980.

Services

Families will value that no matter where their house is situated in Lakeshore, daycares and primary schools are close by. On the other hand, this area does not have any high schools. As far as eating is concerned, property owners in Lakeshore will value that a grocery store is always only a rather long trip away.
