West Isles Real Estate & Houses for Sale
The character of West Isles is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. West Isles is excellent for those who like quiet areas, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.
Transportation
Driving is a great transportation option in West Isles. Coming across a parking spot is generally easy. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very feasible for home buyers in this parish as almost no common errands can be run without the use of a car. Commuting by bicycle is also very hard in West Isles since bike riders are faced with a considerable amount of slopes, and the bicycling network is not very well-developed.
Housing
The sizeable percentage of single detached homes in the housing stock of West Isles is an important part of its character. Around half of properties in this parish were built pre-1960, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed in the 1960s and the 1990s. This part of Charlotte County is primarily composed of three bedroom and two bedroom homes. Roughly 80% of the population of this parish own their home whereas renters make up the remainder.
Services
Primary schools are not numerous and thus not always within a short distance. In addition, there are only a very small number of daycares and consequently they can be a very long stroll away. As far as food is concerned, shopping for one's groceries usually necessitates the use of a car in this parish.
