Neighbourhood Safety
Crime statistics for the Crestview neighbourhood show a volatile but recent improvement after a peak in 2023. Property crime rose from 255 incidents in 2017 to a high of 491 in 2023, but dropped to 436 in 2025 and then sharply declined to just 37 incidents in 2026. Violent crime similarly spiked at 167 incidents in 2025 before falling to only 13 in 2026.
The dramatic reduction in all crime categories in 2026 suggests that overall safety has significantly improved in the area recently. However, the long-term trend had been worsening prior to 2026, so the data should be monitored.
Who Is This Home For
Given its accessibility to multiple bus routes, proximity to parks, schools, and supermarkets, 241 Bancroft Bay is well-suited for families and commuters. The recent improvement in safety and abundance of nearby amenities also make it attractive for first-time buyers seeking a convenient, community-oriented neighbourhood.
