Housing options downtown include the future Park House Condos development currently under construction opposite City Hall. Neighbourhoods in the downtown area offer a range of property types close to downtown amenities:

· Crescents

The Crescents is known for its characterful streets and heritage homes. Bordering with downtown, you’ll be able to walk or bike to many of your favourite restaurants and cafes in a few minutes.

· Millar Addition

Tree-lined streets and views of the Fraser River make this neighbourhood an ideal choice for those who want to access downtown amenities and plenty of greenspace.

· South Fort George

On the border of Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park, you can enjoy music and food trucks at one of the annual festivals hosted at the city’s largest park. You’re also tantalizingly close to the summer location of local favourite Frozen Paddle Ice Creamery (outside The Exploration Place).

College Heights

College Heights is one of the most in-demand neighbourhoods in Prince George. Many buyers are attracted by the beautiful family homes, excellent schools and accessible big box stores, but this area also has its own food scene.

Alongside the big box stores, there are a number of chain restaurants in this neighbourhood like Original Joe’s and Taco Del Mar. College Heights is home to a few locally-owned favourites including Spicy Greens, Ramen Ya SENDO and the Salted Cracker. Pick up your fresh bread, deli meats and pizza at Jolley Market Foods.

It’s only a short drive from here to the restaurants and pubs in the Superstore area, including Boston Pizza, Montana’s, Mr. Mikes Steakhouse, Canadian Brewhouse and locally-owned favourites Westwood Pub, Dragon Stone Mongolian Grill and Playgrounds Café.

Hart

A popular family neighbourhood north of downtown, the Hart has its own restaurant offerings. North City Donair is take-out only, while Northern Palace, Mr. Sushi and the Salted Cracker all offer dine-in or take-out options, making eating out in the Hart very convenient. The Alpine Pub is a friendly neighbourhood pub with an outdoor patio.

Check out the food vendors at The Hart Night Market, which runs during the summer months and features many local artisans and small businesses.

Our local eateries are numerous and diverse, and there are many more places to explore outside of the areas featured in this article. Support them when you can; they make our city fun to live in and create wonderful social environments for getting together with family and friends.
