Summerside delivers easy waterfront living with the amenities of a small city and the energy of a growing hub. Positioned in Prince County, it’s a comfortable commute to Charlottetown as well as nearby communities like Cornwall, Stratford, and Kensington, making regional work and weekend plans a breeze.
Life here leans outdoors: a scenic boardwalk traces the harbor, and the Confederation Trail beckons for cycling and runs. Families and fitness fans gravitate to Credit Union Place for the pool, rink, concerts, and community events. Summerside’s cultural calendar shines with performances at Harbourfront Theatre and pipes-and-drums flair from the College of Piping, while summers bring artisan shopping on the waterfront and the beloved Lobster Carnival.
Schools are a strong suit, with English and French-immersion options and well-regarded programs at Three Oaks Senior High. Younger learners are served by local elementary and intermediate schools, and post-secondary pathways include specialized training at nearby campuses and programs that support the region’s aerospace and marine sectors.
Innovation is part of the city’s DNA. The City of Summerside operates its own electric utility and advances notable clean-energy initiatives, helping keep costs predictable and sustainability front-and-center. Slemon Park’s business district adds steady employment in aviation, manufacturing, and services, while a lively dining scene and year-round festivals keep weekends full.
