THE NEIGHBOURHOOD · Spryfield

Life around Governor's Brook.

Explore the setting, everyday essentials and surrounding community before choosing your next home.

Spryfield is a neighbourhood within Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is located in the Greater Halifax metropolitan area.

Provider geography: Spryfield (neighbourhood) · Halifax (community) · Halifax (municipality) · B3P (postal code) · Halifax County (county) · Greater Halifax (metropolitan area)

A SENSE OF PLACE

The neighbourhood, in perspective.

Getting around

The preferred method to navigate this neighbourhood is often driving. It is very convenient to come across a place to park. On the other hand, the transit service in this part of the municipality is not very practical. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is linked by a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. Walking is not especially feasible for residents in this part of the municipality because most daily needs are at times difficult to meet without a vehicle. In contrast, it is easy to move around by bicycle in Spryfield.

Everyday essentials

In Spryfield, families will typically be able to get to schools and daycares without the use of a vehicle. In terms of eating, the closest supermarket in this part of the municipality is generally only a short stroll away. There are also about 10 restaurants and coffee shops in this neighbourhood.

Local character

Spryfield is an excellent neighbourhood to buy a house in for those who prefer a calm ambience. There are about 40 green spaces close by for residents to discover, like Roaches Pond Ball Diamond Park and Captain William Spry Centre, and they are very well-distributed, making them easy to access from a large number of locations in this area. This neighbourhood is also especially quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Surrounding homes

Roughly one third of properties in Spryfield were built between 1960 and 1980, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 2000s. In this neighbourhood, around 40% of dwellings are small apartment buildings, whereas the remainder are mainly single detached homes and townhouses. The split between homeowners and renters is about even. This neighbourhood also has a good variety of unit sizes - properties range from lofts to four or more bedrooms.
