Step 1. Define your perfect neighbourhood in a list

Start by jotting down a list of the desired lifestyle factors that are most important to you and your family. Remember to leave no stone unturned — consider location, proximity to work and schools, amenities and local attractions.

Step 2. Focus on an area that meets your needs

Begin your search in a community that meets your needs as defined by your list in Step 1. Looking to raise your children in a small town? Do you want to retire lakeside? Eager to dive into your agricultural business endeavours? This handy app may be a helpful starting point or click here to discover the amazing municipalities that, together, create the home we call Simcoe County.

Step 3. Get out and explore

While lists are helpful, nothing beats experiencing an area for yourself. Once you’ve narrowed down the most important factors, be sure to visit at least a couple of locations that match the description. Though one may look good on paper, in reality, it may leave more to be desired. The only way to truly determine what’s best for you is by seeing an area in person.
