Sudbury is full of wonderful communities, and we love to talk about them. Here are five more neighbourhoods in Sudbury that make for ideal places to live and raise a family in. They anchor different parts of the city and offer many positive aspects of family life as well as community activities for all ages.
Sudbury is known far and wide for the iconic Big Nickel and the Superstack that are reminiscent of the copper and nickel mining industries that thrived in the area for decades. In fact, it is estimated that there are 5,000 kilometres of mining tunnels beneath the community that were created from days gone by. Being the largest city in Northern Ontario, the city enjoys a diverse population and amenities similarly found in other large urban areas. It also offers a variety of unique points of interest that remain popular with many all year round, which means there are many things to do in Sudbury. Check out these four we found for you.
The busy metropolis of Greater Sudbury is in central Northeastern Ontario in the Great Lakes Basin. Located on the Canadian Shield of this region, this city is a fascinating combination of urban and suburban communities, along with less populated rural and wilderness locales. Covering 3,267 square kilometres of land, it is the largest municipality within this province and Canada's second biggest city with a population of nearly 160,400. Geographically, Greater Sudbury is known for its impressive 330 lakes, one of which is Lake Wanapitei, the largest lake located within a Canadian city.
Your neighbours are the people whom you may have to live with for a few months to countless years. Taking the time and effort to get to know them now will foster countless rewards in the future. You'll make countless friends, forge long-lasting relationships, and experience some of the most unique people you'll ever find. That should give you plenty of incentive to meet your neighbours.
These two far northern and two most southern Sudbury neighbourhoods may be new areas of exploration for residents in and around the city. Each one is unique, but also self-contained, for those who live in them. The local identity of each area is part of the charm, so enjoy finding out about these neighbourhoods.
