subject: Outdoor Sports Enthusiasts Drawn To Halifax Lifestyle [print this page] Aside from being close to the waterfront throughout almost every part of Halifax, this East coast city is home to many expanses of green space including a beautiful public garden in the city-centre and Point Pleasant Park a few kilometers south.
Dozens of wooded paths crisscross Point Pleasant Park making it a popular destination for runners, dog walkers, hikers and mountain bikers. Water sports are also popular among Haligonians. The city is home to two at least two boating clubs and while the majority of the clubs members like to sail, in recent years, paddle boating, kayaking and canoeing have become much more popular.
Through resources such as these clubs, in the past number of years, Halifax has become increasingly well known by outdoorsy types who appreciate the mid-sized city as a temperate locale with beautiful natural landscapes.
Anyone new to Halifax is immediately charmed by how accessible the waterfront is from the downtown core. A boardwalk is available to those wishing to explore the citys shoreline, taking in views of the thriving port and, further down, views of the greater Atlantic Ocean.
Finding Halifax Apartments for Rent is seamless. Real estate observers note that because so many of the students who attend one of the citys eight universities move to and from Halifax, the rental market is protected from factors that influence vacancy rates elsewhere in Canada. While in many parts of the world city living can be stressful and expensive, Renting an Apartment in Halifax offers an appealing lifestyle at an affordable price. Anyone moving to the city can be confident of finding a suitable place and can be encouraged by the range of outdoor activities they will have access to by living by the ocean.
To cater to the budgets of students and academics, apartments in Halifax are reasonably priced. Reports suggest that the average two-bedroom rental unit in Canada goes for about $885. In Vancouver that number jumps to about $1,200 and in Toronto to $1,150, while the average rent in Halifax lingers around $1,000. This is affordable, especially compared to the rents found in other comparable metropolises.
