Peterborough is ideal for anyone looking for lower housing prices than almost anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario. And that’s not the only reason to take a serious look at living and working here – Peterborough has shorter commutes on average than anywhere else in all of Ontario. Imagine only needing an average of 22 minutes to get to work each morning – and think of how much time that would save you each year.

But Peterborough isn’t just for people that want a little extra time to sleep in every morning, there is a robust post-secondary educational system as well. Seneca College, Fleming College and Trent University all have campuses in Peterborough.

And for those that love the outdoors, Peterborough residents can enjoy adventures in gorgeous canals and parks, skating on the Trent Canal (which runs underneath the infamous Peterborough Lift Lock), and can relax while fishing or canoeing on scenic lakes and rivers. Perhaps the most popular destination of all, though, is the stunning Kawartha’s, which draws visitors and residents alike to enjoy some of Ontario’s best scenery.

In addition to nature, Peterborough offers outstanding daytime entertainment and recreational activities, including theatres, shopping, microbrewery tours, museums and many fine restaurants. And at night, Peterborough comes alive with popular nightclubs and a truly remarkable music scene.

Finally, Peterborough proudly offers tremendous health care facilities to residents, including almost 500 beds and a wide range of health services at the biggest employer in Peterborough; the Peterborough Regional Health Centre.
