Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for the Westwood neighbourhood shows a concerning upward trend in violent incidents over recent years. Violent crimes rose from 25 in 2017 to a peak of 67 in 2023, and while they dipped to 50 in 2024, the 2025 figure of 64 remains high. Property crime has fluctuated but remains elevated, with 236 incidents in 2023 and 218 in both 2024 and 2025.
However, early 2026 data shows only 9 property incidents, a dramatic 95.9% drop from the previous year, which may indicate improving conditions. Overall, the long-term trend suggests a worsening safety environment, particularly for violent crime, though recent declines offer cautious optimism.
Who Is This Home For
440 Best Street is well-suited for families and retirees who value walkable access to parks, schools, and community amenities. The presence of multiple schools within a 7-minute walk, along with the YMCA and library, makes it a convenient family location. Retirees will appreciate the proximity to healthcare facilities and the quiet, established neighbourhood feel.
For commuters, the multiple bus routes (including the frequent BLUE line) provide reliable transit to employment hubs and essential services. However, the rising crime rates may give investors and first-time buyers pause, unless the encouraging 2026 property crime reduction proves to be a lasting trend. Overall, the property is recommended for those prioritizing walkability and transit access over top-tier safety statistics.
