Space to live
Ontario has so many great places to live outside of the GTA. We are spoiled for choice! So if you prefer a smaller town feel and a little less hustle and bustle, just head a little further outside Toronto to places like Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo, Barrie, Newcastle and more.
Our APM-approved professionals outside the GTA know their regions well and will help you find the perfect location and home.

- A choice of great cities and towns full of character and flair.
- School programs for kids that aren’t available in Toronto.

- Many have access to GO Transit or VIA Rail for commuting or taking a trip into Toronto.
