Neighbourhood Safety
Crime in Lord Roberts has shown a concerning spike in recent data. Property incidents rose sharply from 245 in 2024 to 394 in 2025, and violent crime increased from 68 to 87 over the same period, though 2026 figures show a dramatic drop to 31 property and 7 violent incidents.
The 2026 data suggests a possible reversal of the upward trend, but the year-to-date numbers are still early. Long-term trends since 2017 indicate property crime has generally been above 200 incidents per year, with violent crime fluctuating between 50 and 87.
Overall, while the most recent numbers are low, the volatility makes it difficult to declare a clear improvement. Residents should stay informed and consider typical citywide precautions.
Who Is This Home For

Investors may also find this property appealing due to its desirable location near Osborne Village amenities and strong transit links, but should weigh the recent crime volatility. Retirees would appreciate the proximity to libraries, cafes, and medical transit access.
Overall, this property offers a dynamic urban lifestyle with a high convenience score, though the safety trends warrant attention.
