The uptown peninsula is a popular residential area with affordable housing, a low crime rate, fresh air and excellent schools. It is a full service community, catering to many different tastes and interests.
In Uptown, cars are optional. A five-minute walk to work or school means no rush hour headaches. Families get together to attend Uptown's many festivals, while the more romantic sit down to an intimate dinner before heading out to a live performance at the beautifully restored Imperial Theatre or at Harbour Station.
The Canada Games Aquatic Centre provides swimming enthusiasts with an Olympic sized pool and smaller pools for exercise or you can take a stroll along Harbour Passage, a new waterfront trail, or play beach volley ball at Market slip. Harbour Station provides a professional ice surface available to the public while Canada's oldest public market located in the heart of the uptown provides a unique experience for visitors and a much cherished daily experience for many Saint Johners.
Whether it is a quiet stroll along the waterfront or an exciting night on the town, Uptown is a place for people to experience life at its finest and most convenient.
