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.

Living here

Peterborough carries the region: the hospital, Trent University and Fleming College, the restaurants along Hunter Street, and the Otonabee River cutting the city in two. East City and the Avenues hold the century homes; the north end and new west subdivisions carry most of the newer builds.

Who buys here

First-time buyers priced out of the GTA, Trent and Fleming families, investors working the student and hospital rental market, and locals trading up without leaving town.
