The property is surrounded by essential amenities within a short walk. Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry and Pizza Hotline are just 4 minutes away, while MHRC playground and Lord Nelson School are 7 minutes on foot.

Several parks are accessible within 10 minutes, including Sergeant Tommy Prince MM Veterans Park, Mokriy Ecological Reserve, and Old Exhibition Athletic Grounds. Young's Market and Sunny Food are both about a 10-11 minute walk for grocery shopping.

Crime in Shaughnessy Park has shown a generally worsening trend over the past several years, with notable increases in violent and property incidents peaking in 2022. Property crime rose 54.8% in 2022 and violent crime increased 31.7% in 2023, though 2024 saw a slight decrease in violent incidents (down 11.1%).

Partial data for 2026 shows a dramatic drop in all crime categories (property down 92.1%, violent down 93.5%), but this may reflect incomplete reporting. Overall, the long-term trend from 2017 to 2025 indicates volatility and an upward trajectory in violent and property crimes.

1199 Selkirk Avenue offers strong transit connectivity and a good mix of nearby amenities, including schools, parks, and grocery stores within walking distance. However, the Shaughnessy Park neighbourhood has experienced elevated crime rates, particularly property and violent incidents, which should be carefully considered.

This property may appeal to commuters who rely on frequent bus routes and first-time buyers looking for affordable entry into a transit-oriented area. It is less suited for families concerned about safety or retirees seeking a low-crime environment.
