The boundary this page uses

The City of Hamilton divides Crown Point into 2 planning units (Crown Point West and Crown Point East). This page covers all of them.

Everything counted below — schools, licensed child care, parks, transit stops — is counted inside that boundary, so the figures describe Crown Point rather than a radius around a point.

How Crown Point compares with Hamilton

36.5% of households in Crown Point rented their home at the 2021 Census, against 34.3% across Hamilton — close to the city as a whole, so the mix of owners and renters here is unremarkable for Hamilton.

Both figures are the share of households that rent, from the 2021 Census. The Crown Point figure is aggregated from the dissemination areas inside the boundary; the Hamilton figure is the city-wide count Statistics Canada publishes. Census figures describe 2021, and neighbourhoods change — treat them as context rather than as today’s market.

Renting in Crown Point

Hamilton is served by the HSR bus network, with the most frequent corridors running east–west across the lower city. Two GO stations sit in the city — Hamilton GO Centre downtown and West Harbour GO on the Lakeshore West line — and Aldershot GO just over the Burlington line is a common commuter station too. The escarpment limits north–south routes, so check the actual trip rather than the map distance.

Before you sign

Walk the block at the hour you would actually come home. Check what is included in the rent, how utilities are billed, what parking costs, and where the nearest stop for the trips you make daily is. Ontario’s standard lease and the Residential Tenancies Act apply here as everywhere in the province — the renter guide covers what to check.
