Sherwood Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Sherwood offers an unique mix of areas that are both busy and quiet. Although this part of Charlottetown is not known for its lively ambience, with the bars in nearby neighbourhoods, it is rather challenging to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located quite far away. At the same time, this area is especially quiet, as the streets are generally very tranquil.

Transportation

Sherwood is especially car friendly. It is very convenient to park, and many houses for sale are a very short drive from the closest highway. In contrast, public transit users may have limited choices in Sherwood as a result of the infrequent service. Nonetheless, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are typically very close by. The bicycle is a somewhat poor means of transportation in Sherwood since the cycling network is not especially comprehensive, and there are a good number of hills for cyclists to brave. Walking is also not particularly practical for house buyers in Sherwood since few daily needs can be met without the use of a vehicle.

Housing

Around 60% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and 40% are renters. In this part of the city, most dwellings are single detached homes, while small apartment buildings are also present in the housing stock. About 45% of properties in this neighbourhood were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This part of the city has a good selection of unit sizes, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms.

Services

It is often possible for house buyers in Sherwood to purchase groceries by walking. In addition, this part of Charlottetown is a fairly good place in which to go out to eat, and a limited number of coffee shops can be found as well. As far as education is concerned, families will appreciate that wherever their house is located in Sherwood, schools and daycares are nearby.
