Lancaster Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Lancaster offers a slower-paced atmosphere. Lancaster is wonderful for those who enjoy quiet surroundings, as the streets are very peaceful. Green spaces aren't well-situated, making it very hard to get to them. Still, there are a few parks nearby for residents to visit.

Transportation

Driving is an excellent means of transportation in Lancaster. It is very convenient to access a place to park, and it is a short drive to the nearest highway from any location in this part of Saint John. In contrast, Lancaster is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is served by a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. A majority of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in areas that are not very convenient for pedestrians as carrying out daily needs is very impractical without a car. Commuting by bicycle is also challenging in Lancaster because the bicycling network is not very well-developed, and there are quite a few slopes.

Housing

The predominant housing types in Lancaster are single detached homes and townhouses. This area offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes. About 90% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and the remainder are renters. Roughly one quarter of properties in this part of the city were constructed between 1960 and 1980, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s.

Services

In all but a few cases, a car is needed to purchase groceries. When it comes to education, in this part of Saint John, parents and their kids will almost always be able to access daycares on foot. On the other hand, this area does not contain any primary schools or high schools.
