Two city parks featuring a walking/jogging trail, playgrounds and schools for the kids.
Shopping! Tech Terrace is unique in that it has its own grocery store, cafes and boutique shops.
J&B Coffee. This popular coffee shop is located at 26th and Boston is a cozy spot to meet, study, unwind.
Diverse population -students, families, professionals.
Tree-lined streets and mature landscaping
A great variety of homes including cottages, bungalows, and mid-century modern to name a few.
Cons
There are many rental houses in Tech Terrace and some could be maintained better.
Many cars parked on the street since not all homes have sufficient off-street parking.
Systems (electricity and plumbing) may need to be replaced since homes here are typically older.
A large student population which could lead to noise & parking issues.
