Living in Old North
Old North is London, Ontario's most sought-after heritage neighbourhood: yellow-brick century homes on deep lots, a canopy of mature maples, and a ten-minute walk to either downtown or Western University. Buyers come for the architecture and stay for Gibbons Park and the Thames River trails.
The homes
Most homes date from 1900 to 1940: two-and-a-half-storey brick, Edwardian and Craftsman styles, many with original millwork, plus a scattering of mid-century infill and a few new custom builds on subdivided lots. Expect renovated kitchens, finished basements and detached garages on the best examples.
Day to day
Residents walk to Richmond Row, Gibbons Park and the University Hospital campus. Old North is popular with professors, physicians and families who want a walkable life without leaving the city.

Questions about Old North
Are Old North homes expensive to maintain?
Century homes need more care than new builds: roofs, knob-and-tube wiring, plaster and foundations. We check permits and inspection history on every Old North listing before you offer.
Is Old North good for families?
Yes. Quiet streets, Gibbons Park, strong public and Catholic schools and a short walk to Central Secondary make it one of London's most family-friendly older neighbourhoods.
