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.

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.
