With access to a community center, outdoor pools, trails such as the Cranberry Trail and Boardwalk, you are also in ideal proximity to the Cranberry golf course and Cranberry muse for quaint shops and restaurants. BONUS: We love that itās close to Living Water Resort and Spa!
Downtown Collingwood
Collingwoods Downtown features some stunning single detached brick bungalows in a mature neighborhood known as the ātree streetsā this appeals to first time buyers who want to be walkable to vibrant downtown collingwood, close to the new Awenda water park, and georgian bay.
Why we love it:
Downtown Collingwood is a bustling area filled with boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. It offers a blend of historical charm and modern amenities, if you want walkability, downtown Collingwood is it!
Maple View Court
Maple View Court is an affordable area that offers townhome condos located off Tenth Street near the Home Depot, and because it’s on the east side of Collingwood you are a very short drive to The Blue Mountains to enjoy skiing, snowboarding or hiking nearby.
Why we love it:
Family friendly community, quick drive to downtown, schools, nature, trails, the bay, shops and more!
Poplar Side Road neighbourhood
Off poplar Side Road is a very family-friendly neighbourhood convenient to schools, downtown, and Blue Mountain, making it an ideal location for both work and play. These semi’s are newer, ranging from 3-10 years and at a price point in the mid $600s.
Why we love it:
Great location for access to great schools-Admiral JK-8 School, often hailed as the best in Collingwood! Quick drive to train trail, other local trails, parks and more! For my pawrents it is close by to Pawplar Community Garden, perfect for those wanting to live by greenspace for your furry friends, and near to Mountain Vista Vet Hospital.
Collingwoodās Waterfront
For those drawn to lakeside living, the waterfront area offers stunning views and recreational opportunities. The properties are a mix of condos and smaller homes, providing various options at different price points. You can still scoop up a fixer-upper a quick walk away from water access in the $600s+. There are a few different Waterfront pockets but one of my favourites is near Sunset Beach Point. I have helped a first time buyer purchase on Rodney Street, and it is a great little pocket that is still affordable for a single detached property.
Why we love it:
First-time buyers can enjoy access to beaches, walking paths, and more. The community often hosts events and festivals, making it a lively place to live.
