Wallis Heights is situated immediately north of Shannon Hill at the Northeastern end of the Bedford Basin, around the northern side of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge,[1] also known as 'the new bridge', in the former city of Dartmouth. It was established by the Department of National Defence in 1963 to house Royal Canadian Navy personnel attached to the Halifax naval base. The community is named after Provo Wallis.
Defence cutbacks to the Canadian Forces budget in the mid-1990s coupled with rising real estate maintenance costs saw DND not renewing the 30 year lease on the property. Wallis Heights was then sold to a private developer. Some units have been renovated and the entire neighbourhood has been resettled by civilians. It is now called Ocean Breeze Estates.
Wallis Heights is served by a public bus route, Halifax Transit route 51. It runs seven days a week, linking Wallis Heights to the Bridge Terminal via Windmill Road.[2]
