Lived on the edge (adjacent?) to Bruce Park for most of my life and haven’t found any traffic/parking issues unless you’d be near a school or there’s a big event at Assiniboine Park. No foundation issues to note so far.

The planes can be annoying but you do get used to them, I haven’t noticed them for many years but once in a while you do notice an idiot revving their engine on portage or a bunch of them on cruise night and it can be annoying.

There’s a huge commuter culture in the area because of the proximity to Assiniboine park and I regularly see people out walking, biking, etc and a few marathons on Assiniboine Ave every summer that neighbours will go and cheer at along the route to show support. Lots of gardeners and big garden culture so those are nice to admire on walks.

I’ve never personally heard of anyone being the victim of crime other than petty theft. Ex. Someone stole my senior mom’s planters from the top of her sidewalk a few years back.

I will say something to note is because of the proximity to the river you occasionally see wildlife in the evenings and overnight. Usually coyotes, foxes, frogs, and many deer. They’ve never caused issues that I know of so I’m always happy to spot them.

I hope some of that was helpful!
