Hart Highlands: Quiet Streets, Big Yards, and Room to Roam 🏡🌲🐾
If you’re looking for a neighbourhood in Prince George where the pace is a little slower and the yards are a little bigger, Hart Highlands might just be your purr-fect match. (Yes, I went there. 😸)
Tucked into the north end of the city, Hart Highlands is known for its peaceful vibe. Traffic noise? Minimal. Sirens and hustle? Rare. What you’re more likely to hear is kids playing outside, a dog barking in the distance, or the wind moving through the trees.
And if you’ve got a furry supervisor at home, they’ll approve too. With around 20 parks nearby, there’s no shortage of green space for evening strolls, weekend soccer games, or letting the kids (or the cats… if they’re the adventurous type) burn off some energy. 🌳
A Neighbourhood Built for Families
Most of the homes here were built between the 1960s and 1990s, which means you’ll find solid construction, mature landscaping, and established streets. About 94 percent of the housing stock is single-detached homes — and roughly 90 percent are owner-occupied. Translation? People move here and stay.
Three- and four-bedroom homes are the norm, making Hart Highlands especially appealing for growing families or anyone who needs a home office, guest room, or hobby space. Maybe even a dedicated “cat nap lounge.” 🐱
Getting Around
Hart Highlands is very much a car-friendly community. Parking is easy, commutes are straightforward, and most residents drive to work or run errands. Public transit is available, though service can be limited, and walking or cycling can be challenging due to the hilly terrain.
In short, this is a neighbourhood that rewards drivers — and gives you the space and quiet that often comes with that.
Schools and Services
Primary schools are conveniently located throughout the area, which is a big plus for young families. High schools and major grocery shopping typically require a short drive, but for many residents, that’s a small trade-off for the privacy and calm the neighbourhood offers.
The People
Hart Highlands is made up of a mix of tradespeople, professionals, and long-time Prince George residents. Education levels vary widely, with many holding college diplomas, trade certificates, or university degrees. It’s a grounded, practical, community-minded area — the kind of place where neighbours wave and keep an eye on each other’s homes when someone’s away.
Is Hart Highlands Right for You?
If you’re dreaming of a quiet street, a detached home with a yard, and easy access to parks, Hart Highlands deserves a serious look. It’s not the most walkable neighbourhood in the city — but if space, stability, and serenity are high on your wish list, this area checks a lot of boxes.
And if you’ve been thinking about making a move in Prince George — whether into Hart Highlands or somewhere else in the city — I’d love to help you land on your feet (cats always do, after all). 🐾
