Character, value and an urban location

The story here is value and location. It has long been one of the more accessible ways into a character home, so it appeals to buyers hunting character at a reasonable entry point, and to those who see the area's spot next to downtown and its momentum as a long-term opportunity.

It suits people who want an urban, walkable lifestyle in a neighbourhood with deep character and room to grow.

Buying an older home here

Condition varies a lot with housing this old, so a careful look at each property matters. Get a proper inspection and check the wiring, plumbing, heating and foundation. Ask what has been updated, and budget accordingly, and make sure the basement is dry with a working sump pump. The upside is space and character right at the centre of the city.
