Selwyn Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Home buyers who prefer a calm environment will enjoy Selwyn. Selwyn is especially quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Transportation

The preferred method to get around in this township is usually a car. It is especially convenient to park. However, public transit users may have limited options in Selwyn due to the low service level. Nonetheless, the township is linked by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties. Despite the fact that bicycling is more feasible in some areas than others, Selwyn is not especially amenable to biking because there are a good number of slopes for cyclists to brave, and the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed. Selwyn is also not particularly conducive to those who travel on foot because running daily errands is difficult without a car.

Housing

The predominance of single detached homes in the housing stock of Selwyn is an important part of its character. About one third of properties in this township were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This part of Peterborough County offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes. Around 90% of the population of this township own their home while the remainder are renters.

Services

Families will welcome that no matter where their property is located in Selwyn, primary schools are nearby. In contrast, high schools are not numerous and therefore not always within walking distance. Regarding eating, some property owners in this part of the Greater Peterborough metropolitan area may have the option to purchase their groceries as pedestrians in one of about 10 stores, while others will have to turn to a vehicle. A small number of restaurants are available in Selwyn as well.
