The Neighborhood
Life in Stratford, Prince Edward Island
A growing waterfront community with small-town charm, just minutes from everything Charlottetown has to offer.
How walkable and livable is the Stratford waterfront?
Stratford is a sought-after community situated on the Hillsborough River, directly across the water from Charlottetown. Incorporated in 1995, it has grown to become the third-largest community on Prince Edward Island with a population of nearly 11,000, a 12.5% increase from 2016, reflecting its growing appeal as a residential destination.
Battery Point is one of Stratford's most prestigious enclaves, known for its custom-built waterfront homes, mature tree canopy, and quiet, established streets. The neighborhood offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity: secluded enough to feel like a retreat, yet less than 10 minutes from downtown Charlottetown via the Hillsborough Bridge.
The Town of Stratford has invested significantly in its waterfront infrastructure, recently completing a boardwalk that connects to the active transportation trail on the Hillsborough Bridge and leads to Michael Thomas Park. Plans for the waterfront park include expanded trails, recreation facilities, and enhanced public access to the shoreline.
