As Canada continues to grapple with a supply and affordable housing crisis, RE/MAX Canada explores a feasible solution through its latest report, 15-Minute Neighbourhoods: Lessons for Small Communities.
The report, named for an urban planning concept that puts daily necessities within a 15-minute walk, bicycle or transit ride from home, attempts to highlight this pragmatic approach to building the right supply of affordable housing for the greatest number of Canadians, in a way that delivers maximum liveability – particularly in smaller municipalities that are experiencing rapid growth.
Key Findings
- 45% of drivers and 59% of non-drivers agree that the 15-Minute Neighbourhood is realistic, achievable and feasible.
- 68% of RE/MAX brokers surveyed said affordability is the top consideration for buyers when choosing a neighbourhood.
- 7 in 10 Canadians believe that reducing commute time to 15 minutes or less will improve their quality of life.
