Georgetown Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where exactly is Georgetown?

A: Georgetown sits just northwest of downtown St. John’s, between Memorial University and Bannerman Park. Its central position means you can walk to cafés, grocers, schools, and major bus routes in under 10 minutes.

Q: Is Georgetown walkable?

A: Very. Daycares, K-12 schools, parks, cafés, bakeries, and Bannerman Park all cluster within a few blocks. Many residents get by without a car; Metrobus routes and bike lanes fill the gaps.

Q: Are there investment or two-apartment houses?

A: Yes. Many century homes have legal basement suites or loft apartments. Two-apartment listings tend to sell quickly because students and young professionals love the location.

Q: Does Georgetown have designated heritage rules?

A: Several streets fall under the City of St. John’s Heritage Area 3 overlay. Exterior changes on those blocks may need municipal approval to preserve the colourful row-house façade.
