What to Expect

Downtown Halifax is the most central area of the largest city in Atlantic Canada, but its Maritime charm paints the neighbourhood with warmth, vibrancy and belonging. Unlike a stereotypical "downtown" centre, Halifax's offers something quite different than just tall commercial buildings and the impersonal bustle of business tycoons. The streets are spacious and are checkered with an impressive variety of bars and restaurants that are always welcoming new tasters with open arms. Housing mainly consists of condos and units located on the top level of commercial storefronts. On the south border lies the lively Halifax Waterfront while the historic Citadel Hill is located on the north, constantly reminding downtown goers of the city's proud East Coast Lifestyle. 

Demographics

As the financial hub for all of Atlantic Canada, the downtown core tends to house a younger working-class population. A mature crowd of suited up men and women are easy to spot on their weekly commute. Families with children steer clear from the neighbourhood due to the lack of residential streets. Despite the number of schools in Halifax, university residents are minimal as donwtown rent is well above the average student's  budget. That being said, college kids still litter the streets come nighttime and they head out to the numerous drinking spots the area has to offer.  

Lifestyle

 It is never a dull moment in Downtown Halifax. Music festivals, street shows, theatre performances, or something as simple as daily specials at the many local pubs attract all sorts of people to the area, at any given time of the day, week, month and year. Although the area is definitely lively, it hardly feels over crowded or impersonal. Downtown residents often frequent the local food and beverage joints, getting to know the staff on a first name basis. Keep in mind that the school year brings the usual student debauchery and summertime equates to wandering tourists. However, both parties go hardly noticed once you've settled in the daily ebb and flow of the downtown lifestyle.
