Communities
Fourteen communities, one region.
Locals split this region two ways: the towns and villages you live in year-round, and the lake country you escape to (or move to for good). Kate works both, and the line between them is where some of the best opportunities sit.
In town
Peterborough & area
Peterborough
The hub of the Kawarthas, where century homes in East City and the Avenues sit minutes from the Otonabee River, Trent University, and a downtown that still feels like its own place.
Kawartha Lakes
Lindsay
Kawartha Lakes' largest town and service centre, with a wide Victorian main street, established family neighbourhoods, and new builds on the edges, all on the Scugog River.
Cavan Monaghan
Millbrook & Cavan
A heritage village tucked into the Ganaraska hills, where preserved storefronts and rolling countryside meet an easy Highway 115 run to Peterborough or the GTA.
Asphodel-Norwood
Norwood & Asphodel
A working village east of Peterborough on Highway 7, home of the beloved Norwood Fall Fair, with affordable family homes and Asphodel farm country in every direction.
Trent Hills
Campbellford & Trent Hills
A Trent River town with a genuine downtown, the Ranney Gorge suspension bridge, and riverside homes and rural properties throughout Trent Hills, Hastings and Warkworth included.
Scugog
Port Perry & Lake Scugog
Lake Scugog's harbour town, with a heritage main street that runs right to the water, established family streets, and waterfront and rural properties around the lake.
Lakes & cottage country
Selwyn
Lakefield, Bridgenorth & Ennismore
Selwyn's three villages in one market: Lakefield where the river opens into Katchewanooka, and Bridgenorth and Ennismore facing each other across Chemong Lake, all minutes from Peterborough.
Trent Lakes
Buckhorn & Trent Lakes
Classic lodge country where Buckhorn, Lower Buckhorn and Sandy Lake meet, from four-season waterfront homes to island cottages reached by boat.
North Kawartha
Apsley & Stoney Lake
Granite, pine and deep clear water. Stoney and Clear Lake cottages range from modest family camps to landmark island builds, with Apsley as the supply town up Highway 28.
Kawartha Lakes
Bobcaygeon
The village on the locks between Pigeon and Sturgeon Lake, where waterfront bungalows, village homes and true cottages all share one of the Trent-Severn's best-loved stops.
Kawartha Lakes
Fenelon Falls & Balsam Lake
The Jewel of the Kawarthas, with the falls at the centre of town and Cameron and Balsam Lake on either side, a mix of village homes, waterfront, and quiet rural roads.
Dysart et al
Haliburton
The Highlands' hub, where Head Lake village living meets hundreds of lakes across Dysart's townships, from family cottages to remote water-access camps.
Minden Hills
Minden
The Gull River runs straight through Minden's village core, with the Highlands' lakes spreading out through Lutterworth and Snowdon, busiest in summer and beautiful all year.
Peterborough & area
Bancroft
The mineral capital of Canada, on the York River at the edge of the Highlands, where town homes, rural acreage and lake properties come at some of the region's best value.
