Lakeview Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Lakeview is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this area. Even though this area is not known for its lively atmosphere, it is very easy to find places to go out at night because they are well-spread throughout the neighbourhood. Lakeview is very quiet, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue. There are approximately 20 public green spaces close by for residents to explore, like Redwood Park and Henderson Park, and they are very well-situated, making it very easy to reach them.

Transportation

Lakeview is rather conducive to people who like to travel on foot; many common errands can be run without a vehicle. A fair number of people in the area use their bike because riding is made easier by the generally flat terrain, and the cycling network is moderately comprehensive. The public transit service in Lakeview is not very frequent. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighbourhood, and bus stops are not very far from most properties. On the other hand, the favoured mode of transportation in Lakeview is usually a car. Most real estate listings are a short car ride from the nearest highway, and it is straightforward to come across a place to park.

Housing

Lakeview experienced its largest construction boom between 1960 and 1980, so most of the available homes are from this era. In this neighbourhood, roughly 80% of buildings are single detached homes, and the remainder are mainly duplexes. Homeowners occupy about 80% of the dwellings in the neighbourhood and 20% are rented. This part of the city offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes.

Services

Parents and their schoolchildren will appreciate the proximity to primary schools and daycares, which are within walking distance from most, if not all, houses for sale in Lakeview. In contrast, it can be difficult to reach high schools by foot. Concerning food, a supermarket is ordinarily accessible within a rather short distance from anywhere in Lakeview. Furthermore, a restaurant is typically just around the corner, and a limited number of cafes is available as well.
