\nThinking about moving to Dartmouth?<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to Dartmouth: The City of Lakes<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dartmouth sits on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour and is connected to downtown Halifax by two bridges and one of Canada\u2019s most scenic commuter routes, the <\/span>Halifax Harbour Ferry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The city\u2019s nickname, the City of Lakes, comes from the more than 20 lakes scattered throughout the community, many of which are surrounded by parks, trails, and residential<\/span> neighbourhoods.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result is a city where outdoor recreation is part of daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Morning walks around Lake Banook, paddling on Lake Micmac, and sunset views along the harbour are just part of the rhythm of living here.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDartmouth gives you the best of both worlds. You\u2019re minutes from downtown Halifax, but the communities feel relaxed and close-knit. People move here for the lifestyle and end up staying for the community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
