Barrie

Welcome to Barrie

A beautiful waterfront community, situated along the shores of Kempenfelt Bay, on Lake Simcoe, the City of Barrie continues to be one of Canada’s fastest growing and dynamic cities. Its close proximity to the GTA allows for easy commuting, and includes daily Go Train service. Whether vacationing in destinations like Georgian Bay, Muskoka and Wasaga Beach or wanting to go to the various ski resorts - all are within a short driving distance. The historic downtown core is right on the waterfront and is loaded with restaurants, bars, and large and small shops. Barrie offers all of the amenities of a much larger city, while maintaining a small town feel to its community. With affordable housing, many parks and dog-parks, and a downtown surrounded by waterfront, home owners enjoy a variety of beaches, marinas, public walking, hiking and biking trails in the summer, and several nearby ski hills, snowmobile and cross-country ski trails and great ice fishing in the winter. The Real Estate Investment Network recently ranked Barrie the 3rd best place to invest in Ontario. The City of Barrie fits the profile for any lifestyle, and is a wonderful place to call home.
