Crime in St. John's has varied over the years, with notable spikes in property and violent incidents up to 2022. However, since 2023, violent crime has decreased by 12.5% (from 446 to 391 in 2025), and property crime dropped 14.1% in 2025. The most recent data for 2026 shows a dramatic reduction across all categories, with only 40 property incidents and 32 violent incidents (down 94.1% and 91.8% year-over-year respectively). This suggests a significant improvement in public safety.

This property is well-suited for families and first-time buyers due to its proximity to schools (Strathcona School, William Whyte School), parks, and a supermarket within walking distance. Commuters will benefit from the frequent transit routes (F6 and 38) connecting to hospitals, colleges, and supermarkets. The recent sharp decline in crime makes it an increasingly attractive option for investors and retirees seeking an affordable urban location with improving safety.
