COMMUNITY GUIDE

London

City amenities with neighbourhood character

Community Overview

London, Ontario offers everything from downtown condos to family neighbourhoods in Byron, Masonville, Hyde Park, Old North and the south end. It is a practical base for buyers who want city services, hospitals, universities and a wide range of price points.

The Real Estate Market

London's market varies sharply by neighbourhood. Northwest and Byron tend to command premiums for schools and amenities, while east London and parts of the core still offer entry-level opportunities for first-time buyers and investors.

Lifestyle
