The cost of living in Sault Ste. Marie is low compared to other Northern Ontario, or even other Canadian communities. In January 2011, the average property price in the Sault was $136,379 while the average Ontario home listed for $360,000. 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.

Living in Canada
The local scenery combined with the splendour 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.
