Community Profile: Life in Waterford Valley

Lush greenery and stone wall landscaping in St. John's Waterford Valley neighborhood.

Waterford Valley is one of St. John’s most distinctive west-end neighborhoods. Tucked between Topsail Road to the north and the Southside Hills to the south, it stretches from Water Street to the Mount Pearl border. The Waterford River winds through the middle of the valley, creating a natural green corridor that gives the area its quiet, park-like feel while keeping it just minutes from downtown.

Homes and Character There’s a real mix of housing styles in Waterford Valley, from charming heritage homes and modern infill builds to classic single-family houses, duplexes, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. Modest family homes are usually found on the slopes of the valley and the south side of the river, while upscale homes are set along the north side and in the quiet cul-de-sacs off Waterford Bridge Road. Many of these homes enjoy scenic river views, mature trees, and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find this close to the city centre.

Waterford Bridge Road is considered the heart of the valley and one of the area’s most desirable streets. It’s lined with everything from stately heritage homes to tasteful modern residences, many sitting on generous lots surrounded by old-growth trees.

In contrast, Southside Road has a more modest, down-to-earth vibe. While its eastern end near downtown has a few historic properties, most are older single-family homes, bungalows, and two-apartment houses. They’re often on larger lots and are popular with buyers who want value, rental potential, and quick access to trails and the river.

Lifestyle and Location Living here means being close to everything while still enjoying a relaxed, green setting. Bowring Park is right next door, and the Waterford River Trail runs through the neighborhood, perfect for walking, biking, or just getting outside. The H.G.R. Mews Community Centre and Victoria Park are also nearby, offering more recreation options.

Families appreciate the number of schools in the area, including Waterford Valley High, Beaconsfield Junior High, St. Paul’s Junior High, and elementary schools like St. Mary’s Elementary and Mary Queen of Peace Elementary. Many kids can walk to school, which adds to the family-friendly feel.

Market Snapshot In 2025, the local real estate market is competitive, with low inventory and rising prices. Homes on Waterford Bridge Road and riverfront properties tend to attract the most attention, while Southside Road is popular with buyers looking for affordability or investment potential. With its mix of heritage charm, modern homes, green space, and unbeatable location, Waterford Valley continues to be one of St. John’s more desirable places to live.
