Is Lowertown good for families?
The census shows a different mix in each area. In 2021, children aged 0–14 were 15.0% of Lowertown East residents but 3.4% of Lowertown West residents, and average household size was 1.9 and 1.5 respectively. Schools, parks and a community centre are close by, but families must confirm school catchments with each board.
As of · Updated
The nearest elementary schools and parks are within about 1 km straight-line in both areas. Housing is mostly apartments, so family-sized homes may be harder to find; see the housing questions.
Keep in mind. This guide does not rate neighbourhoods; confirm catchments with each board's locator.
