Home: Lockerby / Lo-Ellen Neighbourhood
These communities are south of Ramsey Lake Road, and include the neighbourhoods of Lockerby, Lo-Ellen, Maki Point,
Robinson, and Algonquin. The community has a concentration of suburban shopping opportunities, and the main streets have many townhouses and high rises clustered alongside. Single family housing is more predominant off the main streets. Most of the housing in this area is built in the 1960s, with a growth spurt in the 1980s and 90s. Most of the planned growth in the city is targetted for this
area, since it has a lot of undeveloped land. The prestige homes in the community are on Maki Point, in the middle of Nepahwin Lake, as well as further to the east on the South Peninsula, east of Laurentian University.
Schools
The community has three public elementary schools and two Catholic elementary schools, with two public school board high schools and a Catholic high School. The community is very accessible to Laurentian University, just to the east.
Shopping
The community's shopping is focused along the junction of Paris/Long Lake Street and Regent Street, where there are several shopping centres and "category killer" box stores.
Recreation
The community has several large undeveloped lands dotted with small and medium-sized lakes, plus a number of developed city parks. To the east is the Lake Laurentian Conservation area, and to the north is Bell Park, which is also home to Science North, an IMAX Theatre,
and a marina. The Countryside Arena is on the southern edge of the community, and the Lo-Ellen High School has a good running track. To the north, nestled between Nepahwin Lake and Ramsey Lake is the private Idylwyld Golf Course. In the wintertime, extensive cross-country ski trails are maintained in the Idylwyld, Laurentian University, and Lake Laurentian Conservation Area lands.
