Peterborough pairs riverfront living with small-city ease, anchored by the Otonabee River and the record-setting Peterborough Lift Lock on the Trent–Severn Waterway. Summers bring free lakeside concerts at Peterborough Musicfest, while the revitalized downtown buzzes with independent cafés, patios, and galleries. Families love Riverview Park & Zoo and the new Canadian Canoe Museum, and the Art Gallery of Peterborough showcases regional and national talent. Weekend escapes are effortless, with the trails and lakes of Kawartha Lakes and the rural hamlets of Peterborough County just minutes away.
Education is a standout. Trent University draws students and researchers from around the world, and Fleming College delivers hands-on programs in trades, health, and technology. Strong public and Catholic school systems support learners at every stage. Career paths span education, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and tourism, and commuting is straightforward thanks to well-connected highways and local transit.
Housing choices range from historic brick homes and tree-lined streets to modern infill and riverside condos, offering options for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers alike. Parks, bike routes, and community festivals make it easy to stay active year-round.
