The Amenities
We all love the privacy and comfort of home, and there's something so special about moving in and making a space your own. Still, daily life involves a lot of tasks outside the home, as well! That's why location is such an important consideration when choosing a home. The ideal home is only ideal if it's in the right spot!
Fortunately, the North End is the right spot. It has it all.
To begin with, QEW lines the southern side of the North End, giving residents an easy connection to downtown St. Catharines as well as Niagara Falls and even Toronto or Buffalo if you want to catch a flight. Whether you commute or work nearby, the North End is connected and you'll have no trouble getting around. However, considering everything you have available in North End St. Catharines, you may not even want to leave your neighbourhood:
