Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for Lord Roberts shows a mixed picture. Property crime, which is the most common incident type, spiked significantly in 2025 to 394 incidents (a 60.8% increase from 2024), but dropped dramatically in 2026 to just 31 incidents (a 92.1% decrease). Similarly, violent crime peaked at 87 incidents in 2025, then fell to only 7 incidents in 2026, a 92% reduction. Other crime categories also saw steep declines in 2026.
The overall trend based on the most recent year (2026) indicates a substantial improvement across all major crime categories compared to the unusually high levels seen in 2025. While 2025 was an outlier, the 2026 data suggests the neighborhood has become much safer, though it remains important to monitor future trends.
Who Is This Home For
693 Walker Avenue is a solid choice for families and first-time buyers, given its proximity to multiple parks, a community centre, and a school within a 5-minute walk. The property's location offers a suburban feel with good transit connectivity (Route 895) to a hospital, making it suitable for retirees as well.
Investors may also find the area attractive due to the recent dramatic drop in crime in 2026 and the stable neighborhood amenities. However, the historical crime volatility, particularly the spike in 2025, warrants caution. Overall, this property suits families, first-time buyers, and retirees looking for a walkable community with improving safety.
