Alliston. This walkable community within New Tecumseth blends small-town ease with everyday convenience. A compact downtown delivers local cafés, indie shops, and year-round events like the Alliston Potato Festival, while the Boyne River frames parks and trails for easy after-dinner strolls. Weekend plans are simple: paddle or swim at Earl Rowe Provincial Park, book a tee time or family swim at the Nottawasaga Resort, or dive into local history at the Museum on the Boyne. Commuters appreciate quick connections—about 30–40 minutes to Barrie and roughly an hour to Toronto, depending on traffic.
Families will find strong school options through the Simcoe County District School Board, including widely known Banting Memorial High School, plus nearby Catholic elementary choices. Healthcare needs are covered close to home at Stevenson Memorial Hospital, and everyday errands are straightforward with grocery, pharmacy, and fitness amenities minutes apart. A steady employment base, including advanced manufacturing, supports a healthy local economy, while the weekly farmers’ market and a busy arts calendar keep the community engaged.
