Life at Bertram means living where lake meets city. A leisurely 5 minute walk through downtown brings you to City Park, with its long sandy beach. Join one of the pick-up games of beach volleyball or bring a book to enjoy while you stretch out on the sand, listening to the waves and the boats passing by. 

At Bertram, ‘walking distance’ to award-winning restaurants, breweries, and wineries means whatever you want it to. With casual and formal eateries scattered anywhere from a minute’s walk to a 15–minute stroll away, Bertram residents are certain to discover a favourite neighbourhood haunt. 

To experience culture, Bertram residents need not wander far from their front door. Festivals, buskers, and farmer’s markets add ambiance from spring to fall, while twinkling streetlights guide skaters the 10-minute walk to Stuart Park’s ice rink when temperatures drop. Leave your parking woes behind and make the short walk to the community theatre, art gallery, or arena by foot when you live at Bertram.
