The character of Westfort is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. Most areas in Westfort are quiet, as the streets are calm - although that is not the case close to one of the railway lines.

Transportation

Driving is a very good medium of transportation in Westfort. Many homes for sale are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, and it is convenient to park. On the other hand, the public transit service in Westfort is not very frequent. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily around the corner. The bike is a good means of transportation in this part of the city as the topography is rather flat. Getting around on foot is not especially feasible for residents in Westfort since few common errands can be run without a vehicle.

Housing

The predominance of single detached homes in the housing stock of Westfort is an important part of its character. This part of Thunder Bay has a good selection of unit sizes, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms. Roughly 70% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home whereas renters make up the remainder. This area experienced its biggest construction boom pre-1960, so most of the available housing stock is from this time period.

With respect to education, parents and their children will find that wherever their home is situated in Westfort, schools and daycares are close by.
