Downtown Dartmouth
Walkable, creative and right on the harbour, Downtown Dartmouth mixes heritage homes, new condos and a ferry ride to downtown Halifax.
Why people love Downtown Dartmouth
Downtown Dartmouth has become one of HRM's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Independent shops, cafes, breweries and restaurants line Portland Street and the surrounding blocks, and the harbourfront trail connects it all along the water.
Getting around
The Alderney ferry makes the trip to downtown Halifax quick and scenic, and the bridges put the rest of HRM within easy reach. Many residents walk or bike for daily errands.
Homes you'll find
Expect a mix of character heritage homes, townhouses and newer condo buildings, including the Kings Wharf community on the waterfront.
