Northampton Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Northampton is exemplified by its relaxed atmosphere. Most areas in Northampton are very quiet, as the streets are generally especially peaceful.

Transportation

Northampton is particularly car friendly. It is very easy to find a place to park. Even though bicycling is better in certain sectors than others, cycling is at times difficult in Northampton since there are quite a few slopes, and there are few bike lanes. Most houses for sale in this parish are located in places that are also not very convenient for those who prefer to travel by foot because carrying out day-to-day needs is challenging without a vehicle.

Housing

Roughly 30% of homes in Northampton were constructed in the 1990s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1960s. The predominant housing types in this parish are single detached homes and row houses. Roughly three quarters of the units in the parish are occupied by homeowners and the remainder are rented. This part of Carleton County is primarily composed of four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

There are only a very small number of high schools in Northampton and thus they can be a very long walk away. Moreover, this parish does not contain any primary schools. Likewise, parents may find it very difficult for their children to get to daycares without the need for a vehicle. As far as food is concerned, it is very rarely an option for home buyers in this parish to reach the nearest grocery store by foot.
