In 2026, violent crime fell to just 10 incidents (down 94.3% from 2025), and property crime plummeted to 20 incidents (down 95.8% from 2025).

Year 2026 also saw a reduction in other crimes and traffic incidents, with only 1 drug-related case and 6 total other incidents. While data for 2026 is limited, the trend indicates a significant improvement in neighborhood safety.

46 Piney Crescent is well-suited for families, given the abundance of nearby parks, schools, and community centers within walking distance. The declining crime trend and accessible transit also make it attractive for first-time buyers seeking an affordable, connected neighborhood.

Commuters will benefit from the frequent bus services and easy access to supermarkets and healthcare via transit. The area is less geared toward retirees or investors due to limited senior-specific amenities and some historical crime volatility, but the improving safety outlook broadens its appeal.
