Neighbourhood Safety
Crime in Silver Heights has shown a general downward trend over recent years. Property incidents peaked at 277 in 2019 but declined to 135 by 2024 and have remained relatively low through the first part of 2026 (9 incidents). Violent crime also dropped from 48 in 2019 to 33 in 2024, with only 4 reported in early 2026.
While some categories like traffic and drugs saw year‑over‑year increases in certain years, the overall pattern indicates improving safety, especially when comparing recent partial‑year data to earlier highs.
Who Is This Home For
This property is an excellent choice for families, given the abundance of nearby schools (Strathmillan, Golden Gate, Jameswood) and parks within walking distance. The convenient transit access and proximity to supermarkets and fast food also make it well‑suited for commuters and first‑time buyers looking for an affordable, connected neighbourhood.
Investors may find value in the improving safety trend and stable community amenities, though the property's strongest appeal is to owner‑occupiers seeking a balanced urban lifestyle. Retirees could also appreciate the walkable services and park spaces, but the neighbourhood is particularly family‑oriented.
