Not Every Old North Street Gets the Same Buyer
Your home's block means more than its age or square footage - buyers sort Old North by street, not just by neighbourhood name.
Western University: Old North's Demand Engine - or Buyer Objection?
Western puts Old North on the map, but it also splits the buyer pool - some love the university next door, others keep looking.
Mature Trees and the Old North Tradeoff
That canopy is the single biggest reason some buyers say yes - and the first thing an inspector scrutinizes above the roofline.

The streets that carry Old North, and the streets that borrow the name

Tree cover makes Old North beautiful. It also changes the house.
Old North's mature canopy gives the neighbourhood much of its charm: cooler walks, softer streets, privacy, and strong curb appeal. It also affects roofs, gutters, foundations, light, moisture, roots, insurance questions, and how sellers should present a house.
