Signal Hill and The Battery: Two Distinct Neighbourhoods with Shared Charm

Though often grouped together, Signal Hill and The Battery are really two distinct neighbourhoods—each with its own character and appeal.

The Battery has often been compared to a limited-edition fine art print. Why? Because every square inch is spoken for. There’s no more land to build on, and homes here are as rare as they are sought after. The streets are narrow and winding, lined with a unique mix of heritage homes and contemporary builds. It’s a quiet, tucked-away part of the city, with minimal car traffic but plenty of foot traffic—thanks to its location at the start (or end) of the iconic North Head Trail.

Just next door, Signal Hill Road is a busier artery, especially in the summer, but it still offers pockets of peaceful living. While the main road features mostly renovated older homes, several side streets branch off and provide a quieter, more residential vibe. One area directly above The Battery is home to some striking, architect-designed modern houses—many with sweeping views of St. John’s Harbour.

This whole area enjoys the perks of a small neighbourhood café and a specialty grocery shop, not to mention immediate access to a national park filled with scenic hiking trails, swimming holes in the summer, and skating ponds in the winter. Perched along the slopes of Signal Hill, this iconic area offers a beautiful mix of history, natural beauty, and convenience. Whether you’re after a quiet retreat, a smart investment, or simply stunning views, homes in Signal Hill-The Battery check every box.
