The Pros & Cons of Living North of Waterloo | Living in Rural Ontario

In this Video: The Pros & Cons of Living North of Waterloo | Living in Rural Ontario Rural living in the heart of Ontario just north of Waterloo is an idyllic dream for many. The serenity and simplicity, spacious outdoors, friendly small town vibe, Mennonite work ethic, recreational opportunities, and housing affordability are just some of the benefits to living in any of the many towns and villages that dot the landscape in Perth and Wellington counties, as well as the Region of Waterloo. Places like Atwood, Drayton, Elmira, Harriston, Listowel, Palmerston, St. Jacobs, and Mount Forest, may not be as commonly known as larger centres, but they are great places to live. And they're not as "out of the way" as you might think. What if you could have many of the conveniences of living in a city, and yet also have the safety, space and sense of community that exists in smaller towns? In this video we explore both the pro's and con's of living in any of the places mentioned, as well as numerous other hamlets and villages - places like Alma, Damascus, Glen Allan, Gowanstown, Rothsay, and Wyandot to name but a few. The purpose here is to give you an accurate, objective understanding of what to expect should you decide to make a move from the city to the country. Is living in rural Ontario right for you? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, this video will give you an overview of the information you need to make that decision.
