About one hour North of barrie, 30 minutes from Wasaga, one step from Heaven.
Barrie is a bustling, growiung city, many opportunities for low cost housing in smaller communities around it.
You had better like Snow.

Re: Anyone from Barrie?
also in Wasaga Beach, but Steve is obviously out of the driving Miss Daisy school, Barrie is 30 mins away. Also a Liverpool supporter. We were originally going to settle in Barrie but Wasaga Beach was more appealing for us. I can recommend a great Realtor in Barrie.

Steve, bring you snow boots...was snowing all of yesterday but only got just over an inch. They were forecasting 10-20cm, someone clearly nicked the extra. Had to go to Barrie in the middle of the night due to an emergency with our dog and they looked to have it a bit worse there. Mind you the other week we had a like dusting here and Barrie got dumped with about 5 inches, the 400 was carnage.

Re: Anyone from Barrie?
There is a massive Liverpool supporters club in Toronto, ex players make regular appearances i believe.
I work from home via the internet therefore location isn't a problem for us. Value for money you get a boatload more in Wasaga, plus it is growing the plans for here are huge, the summer equivalent of Collingwood. Which was another attraction, to have the beach here but Collingwood 15km's away means the best of both worlds. Barrie just seemed too industrialised in a lot of parts to me, and it was development after development of identical houses with small lots.
This is the development where my family, plus KatyM and CanadaBound have brought. www.democrathomes.ca , Wasaga Sands.
Steve. yeah guess again!!
All the best

Re: Anyone from Barrie?
What line of work are you in? Also Andy (Canadabound) lives here and commutes to the GTA daily. Quality of life and all, have a look at property prices here, it will surprise you. They recently opened a Wallmart, Canadian Tire, Marks Work in town, plans going in for a big hotel development on beach 1. More stores in the pipeline, plus plenty of job opportunities in Barrie. To do a test drive round a load of developments in Barrie and then drive around Wasaga and see what pace of life you prefer, thats what we did and Wasaga won hands down.
If you want to read about our journey and why we are in Wasaga read my website the link should be in the signature.
