HOME
The cost of living in Sault Ste. Marie is low compared
to other Northern Ontario, or even other Canadian communities. In 2001, the average
home, in the Sault, sold for $114,678
while the average Ontario home listed for $199,884. Recreational property values vary, depending on whether it is rural recreational
or waterfront, but those prices, too, are well below what you’d pay elsewhere in
Ontario.

CLIMATE
The local scenery combined with the splendor offered in each of the four seasons is like living in a postcard setting. The Sault is said to offer the greatest potential for the “perfect white Christmas.” During the summer, there are plenty of perfect crimson sunsets on the horizon. Fall brings a blaze of colour that attracts thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the crisp air, clear night skies and bounty of harvest.
