I love the view of our active Harbour from the top of the hill. There’s an off lease dog park and lots of wonderful flower beds and trees. In the fall you can collect as many oak nuts and chestnuts as you could ever want!

Neighbourhoods
Areas of Halifax or Dartmouth that are interesting to explore.
We’ve been called the Brooklyn of Nova Scotia. Often in the shadow of Halifax in reputation, Dartmouth has its own unique vibe. Unpretentious, authentic and welcoming, it has lots of great food and shops that people from Halifax take the ferry to come see! Explore the side streets and see what you can find.

It is so close to the house and there’s a nice view of the Harbour. If you are adventurous you can see if you can weave your way down a path to Shore Road. If you are not, just take the stairs at the end of the street through the historic cemetery.
