Moreover, the cost of establishing a family with house prices, mortgage rates, childcare, transit and insurance costs on the increase, the urban lifestyle is becoming less and less attractive for Professionals in the 30-50 age demographic.
• Enjoy fishing or hunting? How about lakefront living at an affordable cost, without the need for a 2 hour+ Friday evening commute?
• How about the simple pleasure of breathing the highest quality air in Ontario?
• Are you sacrificing time you can spend with your family, because of lengthy commutes? Are you putting off having a family because of your hectic lifestyle?
• Do you spend more time commuting to work than you do at work?
• Are you struggling to afford to get on or stay on the ‘property ladder’?
