Is Lakeview a good place to live?

Lakeview’s best grade is for walkability (A). Health is another plus (A−). Buying in is costly (D−). Put together, the subjects come to a B overall, ranking #317 of 858 in Ontario. Set against the rest, it does better than 64% of Canadian towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B for safety and C+ for jobs & income.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: this is the whole city's figure, because the city doesn't publish open neighbourhood crime rates. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
