What are some of the nice areas in Peterborough to live in?

Question

My fiance and I are thinking of moving to Peterborough, we have seen some apartments in the "STEWART Street " area. How is it any good?

All thoughts are appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't know all the areas of Peterborough, but I can tell you I have really enjoyed living in the North end. Depends where on Stewart Street you're thinking of...anywhere near McDonnel Street, and you're smack dab in the middle of the worst part of town when it comes to drugs, partiers, theft etc. If it's South of Charlotte, you should be fine. Living in the downtown core is actually fairly decent (George, Charlotte, etc) If you're looking for a decent place, get a map and look for McDonnel, in between Park St and George St and don't go anywhere near that area. That place is famous for being a bad area. I don't think there's any other 'bad' areas of town aside from Alexander Crt, which is right by the hospital, and even that isn't so bad.
