Lakeside Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Lakeside is an excellent neighbourhood to buy a home in for those who prefer a calm atmosphere. The noise levels in this area are very low, as the streets are generally very peaceful. Finally, access to parks is easy from the majority of locations within the neighbourhood since there are around 10 of them close by for residents to visit.

Transportation

Driving is a great medium of transportation in this neighbourhood. The majority of real estate listings are a very short car ride from the closest highway, and it is very convenient to park. On the other hand, public transit riders may experience limited options in Lakeside by reason of the low service level. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is linked by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is usually very close by. Getting around on foot is not especially feasible for home buyers in Lakeside because most day-to-day needs are occasionally difficult to carry out without a vehicle. Lakeside is also not particularly suited for cycling because riding is made difficult by the often sloping area, and there are few bike lanes.

Housing

In Lakeside, many dwellings are small apartment buildings, but single detached homes are also present in the housing stock. Around half of properties in this neighbourhood were constructed in the 1980s, while the majority of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 1990s. This neighbourhood offers mainly three bedroom and two bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy roughly three quarters of the properties in the neighbourhood and renters occupy the remainder.

Services

In Lakeside, families will typically be able to reach primary schools and daycares by walking. However, there are no high schools in this part of Halifax. In terms of food, it is very easy to reach the closest supermarket by foot in Lakeside. There are also a limited number of opportunities for those who value restaurants and cafes in close proximity.
