Nova Scotia wasn’t just recently ranked number 1 by MacLean’s magazine for no reason, it was thanks to happening neighbourhoods like Halifax’s North End.
Halifax has seen the North End transform from an old fashion (and run-down) memory to a trendy hub that is sought after by many to live, work, and raise a family in. It brings urban vibes right to the heart of Halifax by being home to hip coffee shops like the Nook, Seven Bays and Almonak, as well as modern style restaurants like EDNA, and Envie (to name just a few). It’s also home to some of Halifax’s finest bars, beer gardens, gastropubs and Halifax's first urban cidery, Chain Yard Cider.
And if that’s not enough to get you excited, you’ll find a slice of Europe in the famous Hydrostone Market. Home to vintage shops, spas, restaurants, and beautifully restored historic homes, you’ll think you’re on vacation every time you walk through it.
Outside of its hip atmosphere, the North End provides a handful of spacious parks and several close by schools:
