Orillia Living
My partner and I are in our mid-twenties and thinking of moving to Orillia from the GTA.
We spend most of our long weekends camping and outdoors, but want to experience it more and having the area north of lake simcoe in our backyard is so exciting. Camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, snowboarding and conservation work/volunteering. All things we currently do but have such limited access to…
Assuming there are pretty minimal career opportunities in Orilia, commuting to work in Barrie is a more realistic option. For reference I work in construction management / civil engineering. My partner in healthcare.
Of course housing prices are a big factor. A small crammed condo apartment down here costs more than a beautiful cozy renovated bungalow with yard space up there.
Has anyone made a similar move? In our age demographic? And how has it worked out for you?
