Crime data for Centennial shows a generally high level of incidents, with property crimes peaking at 648 incidents in 2025 and violent crimes reaching 300 incidents in 2023. However, the most recent available data (2026) indicates a dramatic drop across all categories, with only 34 property incidents and 13 violent incidents, representing year-over-year decreases of about 95%.

While the long-term trend from 2017 to 2025 shows significant volatility and overall high crime, the sharp decline in 2026 suggests a possible improving environment, though it may be an anomaly or reflect incomplete data.

390 Alexander Avenue is a strong option for commuters due to the proximity to Route 43 transit stops and the walkable access to numerous parks, shops, and restaurants. The recent significant decrease in crime in 2026, if sustained, could make this area more attractive for families and first-time buyers.

Given the historical crime rates and the current transitional nature of the neighbourhood, this property is best suited for investors and commuters who can benefit from the central location and potential for future appreciation, rather than for families seeking a traditionally quiet residential area.
