Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for the Robertson neighbourhood shows a mixed picture. Property crimes, which are the most common, peaked in 2018 at 284 incidents but have generally declined since, reaching 170 in 2024 and just 4 in the partial 2026 data. Violent crimes fluctuated between 21 and 57 incidents per year, with a notable increase to 57 in 2025, but dropped sharply to 3 in 2026.
Overall, the long-term trend in property and violent crime appears to be improving, especially in the most recent years. However, the spike in violent crime in 2025 and the high number of property incidents historically warrant consideration.
Who Is This Home For
748 Polson Avenue is a solid choice for families and commuters due to its excellent transit access, numerous parks, and proximity to schools, a medical clinic, and supermarkets. The presence of multiple parks within a short walk makes it particularly appealing for households with children.
The improving safety trend and relatively affordable property values in the area also make it attractive for first-time buyers and investors seeking long-term growth. While the neighbourhood has experienced some volatility in violent crime, the recent downward trends indicate a positive direction.
