Mariday Park Real Estate & Houses for Sale

One of the unique aspects of Mariday Park is that it contains both vibrant and quiet areas. Even though the ambience is not the most lively in this part of Thunder Bay with the nightlife venues in nearby neighbourhoods, it is easy to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located relatively close by. At the same time, the noise levels in this neighbourhood are very low, as the streets are very tranquil.

Transportation

Getting around as a pedestrian is rather feasible for home buyers in Mariday Park; many day-to-day errands can be run without a car. However, Mariday Park is not especially conducive to cycling because there are few bike lanes, and cyclists encounter quite a few elevation changes. Commuting by transit can be difficult in this neighbourhood due to the infrequent service. Nonetheless, property owners benefit from a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is generally very close by. In contrast, travelling by car is easy in Mariday Park. Most real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, and it is convenient to park.

Housing

Mariday Park experienced its largest building boom prior to the 1960s, so most of the available properties are from this era. In this part of the city, about 85% of dwellings are single detached homes, and the rest are mainly large apartment buildings. Around 80% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and the remainder are renters. This part of Thunder Bay offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

In this neighbourhood, parents and their children will almost always be able to get to primary schools and daycares without the need for a vehicle. On the other hand, families may consider it difficult to reach high schools by foot. Concerning eating, a grocery store is typically reachable within a rather short trip from any home in Mariday Park. Likewise, there are a fair number of opportunities in close proximity for those who value restaurants and cafes.
