A NEIGHBOURHOOD IN CONTEXT

Start with how
you spend your day.

The character of Lakeview is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. Green spaces, like Ed Broadbent Waterfront Park and Lakefront West Park, are very well-spread out and there are about 40 of them nearby for residents to check out, which makes them very easy to get to from the majority of locations in the neighbourhood. The noise levels in this part of the city are also very low, as the streets are generally very peaceful.

Getting around

The car is very often the preferred method to get around in Lakeview. It is convenient to come across a place to park, and it is a rather short drive to the closest highway, such as Highway 401, from anywhere in this area. In contrast, the transit in this part of Oshawa is not very accessible. Thankfully, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. Commuting by bicycle is easy in this area. However, there are relatively few pedestrians out on the streets of Lakeview, despite the fact that many daily errands can be run without a car.

Everyday essentials

The closest grocery store in Lakeview is generally only a rather short walk away. Moreover, this neighbourhood is a good place in which to go out to eat, and residents can enjoy a few cafes as well. As far as education is concerned, schools and daycares are very easy to access on foot from anywhere in this part of Oshawa.

The noise levels in this part of the city are also very low, as the streets are generally very peaceful.

Surrounding homes

In Lakeview, around 30% of dwellings are single detached homes, whereas the remainder are mainly large apartment buildings, small apartment buildings, and townhouses. This area offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. The split between renters and homeowners is about even. This area experienced its most significant building boom in the 1960s and 1970s, so most of the available properties are from this era.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you
call it home.

What do the location scores measure?

Local Logic supplies individual access and character scores on a 0–5 scale for the recorded coordinates. Consider each measure separately; we do not calculate an overall livability rating.

Are the distances walking times?

No. Distances are straight-line measurements from the project reference. Open directions to check a walking, cycling, transit or driving route.

Does a nearby school guarantee admission?

No. Confirm attendance boundaries, programs, capacity and registration requirements with the relevant school board.

Do the demographic figures describe future residents?

No. They describe the existing population in the provider’s surrounding study area. They do not predict the buyers or future residents of this project.

SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

A guide with a clear point of reference.

Prepared by Team Arora. Scores, neighbourhood descriptions, school records, places and demographic information are supplied by Local Logic. Requests are cached for up to 24 hours; underlying source periods may be older. Provider neighbourhood labels may differ from builder descriptions. Missing data remains unavailable.

Recorded coordinates: 43.8547681, -78.85887629999999. Amenity queries use a 2.5 km radius; school results retain the provider’s school-search coverage. Distances use the returned straight-line measurement, or are calculated directly between coordinates when absent. The project page includes the existing map; Google provides the linked directions. Verify current place details, boundaries and routes before making a decision.
