The neighbourhood of Chinatown is not only home to amazing food and a vibrant cultural experience, it is also a cozy, central, and affordable location for students, couples, and young families to live. Similar to Centretown, Chinatown gives its residents the freedom to walk or bike to anywhere in the Centretown/Downtown area, but provides a much more affordable real-estate option. Fit snuggly in between Centretown and Hintonburg, Chinatown is a trendy pocket to live in if you want to be situated near a wide range of restaurants, bars, karaoke, shops, boutiques, and also be walking distance to the downtown core.
Overall, Chinatown is a lively, multicultural hub of personality in a very convenient location.
