Shearwater

The community of Shearwater is part of the municipality of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Transportation

Shearwater is especially car friendly. Coming across a place to park is generally easy. In contrast, commuting by public transit is difficult in Shearwater. Thankfully, the community is linked by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is generally just around the corner. This part of Halifax is not very conducive to those who travel by foot since very few daily errands can be run without having to use a car. Shearwater is also not particularly bike-friendly as there are few bike lanes, and there is a significant amount of hills. Nonetheless, riding a bike is reasonably popular.

Services

Doing one's groceries usually demands the use of a car in Shearwater. Conversely, a cafe is typically a rather short stroll away. Concerning education, there are no high schools and no primary schools in Shearwater. Additionally, daycares are not numerous and accordingly tend to require a very long walk to get to.

Character

Since there are very few people out and about on the streets, Shearwater is relatively quiet. Parks aren't well-spread out, which makes it sometimes challenging to get to them from a large number of locations in Shearwater. Still, residents will be able to access green spaces in nearby communities.

Housing

Single detached homes are the predominant housing type, representing many dwellings in Shearwater, and the rest are mainly townhouses. Around one third of properties in this community were built before the 1960s, while many of the remaining buildings were constructed in the 1960s and the 1980s. This part of Halifax also has quite a good selection of housing sizes; there is a higher proportion of three bedroom homes in this part of the municipality.
