Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for Fort Richmond shows a worsening trend over recent years. Property incidents rose sharply from 243 in 2017 to 1023 in 2024, though 2025 and early 2026 show a significant drop (581 and 21 incidents respectively). Violent crime also increased from 60 in 2017 to 182 in 2024, before falling to 156 in 2025 and 10 in 2026.
The overall trajectory from 2017 to 2024 is clearly upward, but the very recent figures (2025–2026) indicate a marked improvement, suggesting the neighbourhood may be stabilizing.
Who Is This Home For
629 Silverstone Avenue offers exceptional transit connectivity and a wealth of nearby amenities, making it highly appealing for families and commuters. The presence of multiple schools, parks, and recreational facilities within walking distance adds to its family‑friendly character.
However, the historically elevated crime rates (especially property crime) may give some buyers pause. The recent dramatic decline in crime during 2025‑2026 is encouraging, but investors and first‑time buyers should monitor the trend closely. Overall, this property is best suited for those who prioritize transit and lifestyle amenities and are comfortable with the neighbourhood's evolving safety profile.
