Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for the Rossmere-A neighbourhood shows a mixed trend. Property crime, which makes up the majority of incidents, fluctuated from 469 in 2017 to a peak of 710 in 2020, then dropped to 449 in 2021 and rose again to 604 in 2022. Violent crime peaked at 246 in 2022 and has remained around that level, with 241 in 2023 and 246 in 2024. However, the most recent 2026 data shows a dramatic drop with only 54 property crimes and 18 violent crimes, though this may reflect incomplete reporting.
Overall, the long-term trend is classified as worsening due to elevated crime levels in recent years compared to 2017–2018, despite the apparent drop in 2026. Traffic and drug offenses remain relatively low.
Who Is This Home For
131 Bret Bay is well-suited for families who value access to numerous parks and a community centre within walking distance. The area's abundant green spaces and places of worship create a family-friendly environment, though the rising crime trend should be considered.
Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Route 446 transit stops for trips within the city, but the lack of a major transit hub or rapid transit may limit convenience for longer commutes. Investors should note the fluctuating property crime statistics and weigh them against the neighbourhood's amenities and park access.
First-time buyers may find the mix of park access and transit appealing, but should review safety concerns carefully. Retirees may enjoy the peaceful parks and local community spaces, though they might prefer a lower crime profile.
