IT’S POLL TIME!


I’m on a mission to gather your thoughts about the various areas in Halifax. Which spots do you think offer the best quality of life? Which ones are the most secure? Let's dive in and see what you think!

If you had to rank these areas as the top places to live, boasting the best quality of life and all that jazz, would you agree with these picks, or do you have your own hidden gems?

According to a Google Search:

  • Portland Estates: 0 crimes per 1000 people (Seriously, who’s committing crimes in a place called "Estates"?)

  • Herring Cove: Secure suburban living (Sounds cozy, right?)

  • Clayton Park: Accessibility to shopping centres (Shop till you drop!)

  • Eastern Passage: Coastal landscape (Can you smell the sea air already?)

I must admit, I was a bit surprised by these reasons. They're not exactly what I would have picked.

Personally, I think Eastern Passage and Sackville are fantastic communities. They’re small, quaint, and they give off those nostalgic vibes of my hometown in Newfoundland.

Portland Estates and the West End are top-notch for their excellent school districts. And Herring Cove? It's all about that laid-back lifestyle and the super chill community members.

But where's Bedford in all this? Oops, my bad! I moved here…. Need I say more?
