Halifax Real Estate Information
Halifax real estate: Halifax is the capital of Nova
Scotia and lies on a peninsula. Halifax has one of the world's largest
deep water harbours. The hilly city of Halifax, Nova Scotia rises from
the harbour and the historic central district to the upper ramparts
of the Halifax Citadel, a star-shaped fortress, offering residents splendid
views of the city and waterfront. The Halifax Citadel also acts as a
compass for locals and visitors alike. South of Citadel is downtown,
to the north west is Dalhousie University, to east are the bridges to
Dartmouth, and to the north are apartments and residental areas. In
Halifax, historic fortifications and centuries old wooden buildings
stand amidst modern skyscrapers making for one of Canada's most striking
cityscapes.
Metro Halifax is the amalgamation of the towns of Dartmouth, Bedford,
and the original city of Halifax. Together the union creates a population
of about 350,000 making Halifax the largest city in Atlantic Canada.
