Neighbourhood Safety
Total crime in the Chalmers neighbourhood has shown significant improvement in the most recent year (2026). Violent incidents dropped from 345 (2023) to just 15 in 2026, and property crime fell from 812 (2022) to 34 in 2026. However, note that the 2026 data shows a dramatic drop, possibly due to incomplete reporting, as only three months of data appear to be included. Prior to 2026, violent crime had been rising sharply from 223 (2021) to 345 (2023), before beginning to decline.
The long-term trend based on complete years shows a worsening pattern in violent crime from 2017 to 2023, but the most recent full year (2024) and partial 2025/2026 data indicate a downward turn. Overall, the neighbourhood remains a higher-crime area compared to city averages, but recent improvements are notable.
Who Is This Home For
469 Martin Avenue West is highly suited for families and commuters due to its excellent transit connectivity and proximity to multiple schools, parks, and community amenities. The property's location within walking distance of Elmwood High School and several elementary schools makes it convenient for households with children.
First-time buyers and investors may also find value here, given the improving safety trend and strong transit links to hospitals, clinics, and grocery stores. However, those sensitive to crime may want to monitor the data closely, as the neighbourhood has historically recorded high violent and property crime rates.
