Royal Homes Peterborough

Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe is brimming with potential, and no place exemplifies the growth of this region quite like Peterborough. Not only is it home to some of the best parks and lakes Canada has to offer, but Peterborough has become a thriving economic hub with amenities for families both young and old. Building a custom home in Peterborough lets you live in the best of both worlds, with cottage country on one side and an up-and-coming metropolis on the other.

Living in Peterborough

Most people know Peterborough best as a summer retreat at the gateway to the Kawarthas. Adventurous travellers flock to the area for its iconic hiking and canoeing trails, and the cozy atmosphere makes the town a haven for retirees. But summer fun is far from the only thing living in Peterborough has to offer.

There is something for everyone in Peterborough’s diverse neighbourhoods. Those with active lifestyles can find everything they need within walking distance in the East City; nature lovers relish the canopy of mature trees that stand watch over the Old West End. The Hospital and Kawartha Heights areas offer great schools and affordable family homes, while University Heights boasts an eclectic variety of beautiful upscale homes.

Building a Home in Peterborough

There’s never been a better time to think about building a home in Peterborough. The finance site MoneySense ranked Peterborough as the second-best place in all of Canada to buy property — and for a good reason. The city’s population grew by 20,000 in the last 20 years alone, and it’s set to continue as more and more people discover what Peterborough has to offer.

Property values in Peterborough have risen steadily in recent years, with the average home price sitting at $412,000 in 2018. That puts the prospect of building a home in Peterborough well within reach for many first-time buyers and couples looking to downsize in their retirement.
