Highland Park
Pop 3,291 (2021 Census) 4.9 km to downtown CREB district: City Centre
Four bus routes cross through Highland Park, and the stops stay busy — morning commutes, afternoon errands, routes that spread across the city in enough directions that a car feels optional rather than essential. James Fowler High School is one of the larger landmarks in the area, with Buchanan School keeping the elementary grades close to home. The churches — Fairview Baptist and Highland Mennonite Brethren — are the year-round kind, hosting events through the week and filling their parking lots on Sundays.
It's a mixed neighbourhood in the practical sense: owners and renters, older bungalows alongside newer infills, a PharmaChoice for the everyday run. The proximity to downtown — a short trip on any of those bus routes — means people here move around the city more than they stay put in it.
