Living in Lynhurst, St. Thomas
London commuters, Amazon staff, and buyers who want an established street and a bigger lot over new construction.
What is it like to live in Lynhurst?
Lynhurst is an established area on the northwest edge of St. Thomas. It sits in the Municipality of Central Elgin rather than the City of St. Thomas, which affects property tax and services. Homes are resale, many on larger lots than in the newer subdivisions, and it is one of the quickest areas for getting to London and to Amazon in Talbotville.
