the Town of Truro

Both residents and visitors are treated to the diverse residential neighbourhoods of Truro. A wealth of Victorian, Georgian and other period styles from the 1800's to the early 1900's exist under tree lined streets. The majority of the older neighbourhoods are conveniently located within walking distance of the downtown. As with many Nova Scotia communities, the prosperity of Truro is reflected in its residential architecture.

Not only does Truro have a past, it has a future as well! Several single family neighbourhoods, co-op housing, senior villages, apartments, condominiums, and townhouses, as well as demonstration housing projects, compliment the Town's established neighbourhoods. By continuing to provide pleasant and affordable housing for everyone, Truro lives up to it's billing as "One of the Best Towns to Live in Canada", awarded by the national lifestyle magazine, Chatelaine. For further information on housing opportunities, please see local Real Estate listings.

One of the reasons Truro became a town over a hundred years ago was to provide its residents with reliable modern services. Today, the Town continues its tradition of reliability with full municipal servicing with: modern sewers, solid waste management (balefill, composting, recycling), water treatment facilities, and waste water treatment facility. You can say that Truro offers small town living with the luxury of the big city.
