Recreational Trails In Georgina!

Recreational Trails In Georgina Many Georgina residents take full advantage of our amazing recreational trails all around the area. Others, have little idea just how many exist! There are so many leisurely activities to do around Georgina, and we could all use more physical activity incorporated into our daily routines. So, I’m writing this to show-case some ideas to get you outside and moving on a regular basis. Let’s talk about how many recreational walking trails there act

How Our Beautiful "Georgina" Came To Be...

The first to attach a name to the heavily-forested shores of this mighty lake was the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe. He decided the area merited the name of a King, and so the new township was named for George the Third, King of England. Georgina claims a birthdate of 1796, the end of Simcoe's term as Lieutenant Governor. Simcoe named the vast lake for his father, Captain John Simcoe, a naval officer. Settlers soon arrived to tame the forests of Geor

'Tis The Season!

Is it too soon to start getting excited about all of the fun and wonderful events that are coming up for the Holidays? As the parent of a wee one, I think not! (and even as a perpetual kid myself, I love the colourful lights and music of this season). To help you plan some activities, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite events around Lake Simcoe to jump-start the Festive Season: Saturday November 17th kicks off the season for me with the Keswick Santa Claus Parade

Why Live In Georgina?

Lake Simcoe, Georgina, Jackson’s Point… What do you think of or what do you see when you hear these words? For me it is a four season paradise. I love it, I live here and I discover something new in my lovely town every single day over the last 20 years. We live in a special place that offers a lifestyle like no other in Ontario. Whether it’s cycling on the area’s scenic trails or exploring the picturesque region by water, there is nothing quite like feeling the warmth of the

Vista Park 72 West Park Heights, Keswick The name of the park says it all. Overlooking Cook’s Bay, Vista Park offers breaktaking views of the changing fall colours.

Two Lakes You Can't Go Wrong With...

Both Toronto and Georgina have their perks. Not only do they both offer access to a lake within minutes, but they are within a modest reach of each other. The price pyramid of housing affordability in Toronto has dropped. More and more buyers are limited to lower price points due to regulations introduced throughout 2017. This has put a lot of pressure on the Toronto condo market, driving prices higher. And as a growing real estate trend, the next generation of purchasers

Why Move To Georgina?

Imagine a life... where you come home from work and can go swimming in sparkling clean water right outside your front door... Or jump in your boat, canoe, kayak or paddle your board across the water enjoying a heron gliding overhead or watching minks in waterside play... Play the golf courses we enjoy or sit on a dock or the beach and enjoy an evening wind down with a glass of wine... Winters are just as magical by the lake with snowshoeing, cross country skiing on various re

On Downsizing...Or Just Plain Ol' Purging...

This weekend, Georgina is having yet another "Curb Side Giveaway" and while most know that purging is part of the selling process, sometimes, especially when downsizing, it can be very stressful. I know personally from selling a few times, living in condos even, how "stuff" (aka treasures, junk, etc) can accumulate very quickly. It still baffles me to this day how we lived in a 525 square foot loft and STILL managed to accumulate when just squeezing the two of us in was a
