Thornhill Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Thornhill is exemplified by its calm environment. There are a few green spaces nearby for residents to explore, like Albion Park, making them easy to reach from the majority of locations in this area. This part of the city is also very quiet, as the streets are very peaceful.

Transportation

Thornhill is particularly car friendly. Coming across a parking spot is easy. In contrast, residents using public transit may have few options in Thornhill by reason of the low service level. Thankfully, property owners are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. It is sometimes difficult to get around by bicycle in this area as the cycling network is not very comprehensive, and bicycle riders encounter a considerable amount of slopes. Thornhill is also not very well-suited for pedestrians as running daily errands is very inconvenient without the use of a car.

Housing

About 80% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and the remainder are renters. In this area, about 70% of buildings are single detached homes, but duplexes are also present in the housing stock. This neighbourhood experienced its most significant building boom following the year 2000, so most of the available properties are from this time period. This part of the city offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes.

Services

There are only a few high schools in this part of Maple Ridge and therefore they can be a long trip away. Furthermore, this neighbourhood does not have any primary schools. Additionally, families may find it challenging for their kids to access daycares without the need for a vehicle. When it comes to eating, in most, if not all, cases, a car is required to purchase groceries.
