Community Details
Lower Sackville is approximately 25 kms or a 20 minute drive from downtown Halifax, and its close proximity to the capital gives Lower Sackville the advantages of local employment opportunities and infrastructure of a larger city. The district is very typical of many “commuter communities”, experiencing exponential growth in recent years.
The community's growth reflects its central location, near both Halifax and Dartmouth, with easy access to Highway 102. Making it an easy commute to employment opportunities and services of a larger city, and is typical of most commuter communities experiencing growth in North America.
Lower Sackville has experienced ribbon/strip-style commercial development along Trunk 1 since the 1960s. Current retail chains include Sobeys, Atlantic Superstore, Canadian Tire, Cleve's Sporting Goods, Dollarama and Giant Tiger. There are numerous independent retailers located in this area as well.
The majority of Lower Sackville's suburbs were built in the 1970s on the southern edge of First Lake, which offers outdoor recreational opportunities. In recent years with the development of Sunset Ridge, Lawson Estates and Twin Brooks entering from Executive Drive and connecting to Millwood subdivision has driven the growth of the area. These planned communities have a combination of single detached homes, semi-detached and even apartment complexes. Due to the good resale of the homes in Lower and Middle Sackville it is a popular neighbourhood for military families.
Physicians in Nova Scotia provide fulfilling patient care which embraces family life, professional development and community involvement. That's what makes practicing medicine in Nova Scotia unique. Physicians are increasingly attracted to practices that offer team-based care to their patients and allow them to consult with their peers. The size and scale of Nova Scotia allows for better connections across the health care system. Your practice of medicine and your life is richer here. Nova Scotia is more than medicine.
