The County

Where lifestyle meets opportunity.

Simcoe County stretches from the southern shores of Lake Simcoe up to Georgian Bay — a massive region of small cities, rural townships, lakefront communities, and everything in between. It’s one of Ontario’s fastest-growing regions, and for good reason.

Whether you’re looking for a walkable downtown, a quiet country property, waterfront living, or something close to the highway for commuting — there’s a community in Simcoe County that fits. The key is knowing which one.

City · Waterfront

Orillia

The Sunshine City. Walkable downtown, two lakes, a growing food and arts scene, and a community that punches well above its weight. Orillia is the heart of my practice and the focus of Sunshine City Secrets.
