Huron Heights is a neighbourhood in the City of London, Ontario, Canada. Located in the northeast part of the city, development began around 1960 and continued to the late 1960s in four distinct phases (one of which was commonly known as Huron Village), and included three public elementary schools, and provided students to one Catholic elementary in the area and one public secondary school just northwest of the development. A large commercial plaza with anchor grocery and department stores was developed at the west edge, and a neighbourhood plaza was developed in the central part. A city arena was built and later supplemented with a public swimming pool.
Huron Heights consists mostly of low-density, single detached dwellings. As of 2011, the area is home to 19,470 residents. Most of the neighbourhood is considered a lower-income area with an average family income of $71,288, an average dwelling value of $231,279 and a home ownership rate of 57%.[1]
It also is home to thousands of students residents from Fanshawe College[2] and the University of Western Ontario.[3]
Huron Heights was home to Canada's first Kmart store at Huron Heights Shopping Centre (1345 Huron Street) in March 1963.[4]
