Historic core living with detached-home surroundings
Peterborough blends an older walkable centre with detached-house neighbourhoods spread across the area.
The appeal here is variety: a concentrated historic core with services and cultural venues, paired with a broader residential fabric where detached houses are the prevailing form. It is not a single-master-planned community or a one-node suburb; the area reads as many pockets stitched together, and what feels close or convenient depends on where, within Peterborough, a home sits.
Housing across Peterborough is mostly detached houses, with additional variety in the central neighbourhood around Downtown and the historic core where heritage single-detached homes sit alongside duplexes/triplexes, low-rise apartments, and some newer infill. The result is a market where built form changes noticeably by pocket within the area.
A typical home in Peterborough is a detached house, with the option of smaller multiplex or low-rise apartment living in and around the historic core.

Peterborough’s defining trait is range: an older, walkable historic core paired with a broader detached-house landscape and amenities distributed across the area. That mix can work well for buyers who want options in housing form and day-to-day setting within one community. It’s not the right fit for someone who wants one consistent, centralized hub to define the entire area, or who needs walkability to feel the same everywhere they look.
This description is compiled from the figures above and from published sources. It is not a statistic.
Peterborough covers about 67 km², so a single Walkability, Transit access or Bikeability score measured at one point would not describe it. How easily you can get around depends on which part of Peterborough you are in — check the score for a specific address.
